Are old coins worth more than new?

Generally but by no means all the time. A coin's value depends on how rare it is, its condition, and its mint mark in addition to its date.

For example, a very worn, common-date Indian Head cent from the 1890s might sell for a dollar or two, but a nearly-new condition 1914 Lincoln cent from 1914 would sell for hundreds of dollars because it is much rarer.

Take a look at a site such as CoinClub.com to get an idea of prices.

What was the new coins issued in ancient Rome were worth less than the older coins merchants demanded more new coins for the same product. What is this principle called?

This principle is known as Gresham's Law, which states that "bad money drives out good money." In this context, when new coins with lower intrinsic value were introduced, merchants preferred to keep the older, more valuable coins, leading to a scarcity of the latter in circulation. Consequently, merchants demanded more of the new coins to equate to the same value, as the perceived worth of the older coins remained higher.

This principle is known as Gresham's Law, which states that "bad money drives out good." When a government issues currency that is perceived to have less intrinsic value, people will tend to spend that less valuable currency while hoarding the more valuable older coins. As a result, the new coins circulate more freely, while the older, more valuable coins are kept out of circulation.

The principle you're referring to is known as Gresham's Law, which states that "bad money drives out good." In this context, the newer coins with less intrinsic value (bad money) would circulate more widely as merchants preferred to keep the older, more valuable coins (good money) for themselves, leading to an increase in the quantity of new coins required for transactions.
