The cup of coffee is more expensive to you, assuming it still costs 10 monopoly dollars. In the past you used to be able to buy a shit ton of monopoly dollars for $1. Then monopoly dollars mooned and now you can only buy $8 monopoly dollars. So ASSUMING the cup of coffee is still the old price, you now need to spend $1.25 to get 10 monopoly dollars to pay for the coffee.

I think you and the host are thinking of it in two different ways, yours is completely valid though. The host might think that the coffee either costs 10 monopoly money or 1 USD so when you buy the coffee the second time with 1 USD, you're essentially getting a 20% discount. If you switched your USD to monopoly money the second time and tried to buy a coffee you would be 2 monomoneys short.
