I could be wrong but I don't think so. as I learned about the history of civilizations, each of their collapses was not caused by a devalued currency. it's not a fact that the last stage of en empire on the verge of collapse is characterized by printing money.

maya, mesopotamia, chaco canyon, roman empire, han dynasty, greece, british empire, etc. none collapsed via money printed in a way that contributed to their decline, let alone create the collapse.
