The prices fall

Step-by-step explanation:

Deflation happens naturally when the money supply of an economy is fixed. When money gain purchasing power, the producer need less capital to produce their product, which means that they can afford to sell their product with lower price. This allows one to buy more goods and services than before with the same amount of currency. So the price of money fall as there is a decrease in money supply.
