Generally, metals value in relation to each other are roughly the inverse of the square of the ratio.In "homage" to this thread: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=130591
I invite you to post all manner of half-baked theories and implausible explanations here.
For that matter, please also "explain" the following:
- Why is silver so special?
- Why is gold so special?
- Why is mithril so special?
- Why is lead so special?
- Why is crystal so special?
- How deep is deep crystal?
- Why does crystal count as metal?
- If steel is so rare on Krynn, how can they use it as currency?
While this has no impact on your friend's game, aluminum isn't rare on earth, in fact bauxite is quite plentiful. Heck, rubies and sapphires are aluminum-based.In one game a friend of mine ran, mithril was actually aluminum. Strong, shiny, and rare - unless you know the secret of mining it.
Yes. Dead af. You deaf or something?
rarity- Why is silver so special?
rarity, does’t react with other elements much- Why is gold so special?
fictional, so whatever you say (also, rarity)- Why is mithril so special?
soft metal at room temperature- Why is lead so special?
it isn’t- Why is crystal so special?
6 feet- How deep is deep crystal?
where does it do that?- Why does crystal count as metal?
rarity again. In the past coins were worth their weight in the metal they were made of, so it really was still more of a barter system.- If steel is so rare on Krynn, how can they use it as currency?
Yes, I have heard the Aztecs would trade gold for steel, equal weights.rarity again. In the past coins were worth their weight in the metal they were made of, so it really was still more of a barter system.
Hence steel coins are valuable in Krynn while gold coins are elsewhere
