Item prices are fixed by the developer, aren't they? edit I suppose that just kicks the stone down the road. There would still be devaluation in the sense that scarce and expensive items become commonplace.

The item prices could always be "re-fixed" by the developer. There's no reason they must to remain static, especially if there was some "give billions of the currency to everybody" that was somehow unable to be rolled back.
