Why did romans coins decrease in value during the ad 200s?

Because the coins were made of debased (less pure) silver. The Roman Denarius was the basis of the currency system. It started out at nearly pure, but by the 200s was only 50% pure (making the coin worth half of what it was worth at the start of the republic) by the 300s the denarius was silver plated copper and nearly worthless.

Why are 55BC roman coins so worthless?

They aren't worthless, but the vast majority of Roman coins are struck in bronze which isn't worth as much as gold or silver, many were struck for circulation and bronze deteriorates with time meaning that many of the coins are not in good condition after being dug up 2,000 some odd years later. All of these affects value.
