I'm sure this won't help shed light onto the issue for those still in the dark, but I'll take a swing at it.

If you have $10, and a loaf of bread costs $1, then you have the monetary equivalent of ten loaves of bread.

If the government re-denominates your money so $10 now equals $1, then the loaf of bread now goes from $1 to $0.10. Your money is still worth ten loaves of bread, and thus, you've lost no equity. This gil re-denomination will not alter your net worth.
