When there are two forms of money available, people prefer to spend the form of money that is less valuable. Thereby giving rise to the phrase Cheap money drives out dear money. For instance if there is paper money and silver coins, it is more likely that individuals will hoard the silver coins hoping that the value of them will increase. In this instance the paper money is the cheap money.
