If one gives money to a money changer, the assumption is he is expecting he will use it (unless he seals it) and then the money changer is responsible if the money gets lost.  There is a debate whether he is responsible also for ones (accidental damage).   Beit Shammai, Beit Hillel and Rabbi Akiva debate regarding an item that is worth a different value at the time the shomer used it and the time he breaks it and is then brought to court.  What price does he need to pay?  The gemara debates what exactly is the opinion of Beit Hillel and what is their point of disagreement with Beit Shammai.  Eventually the mishna is understood in a different manner.
