[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 7755849, member: 92239"] I know that asking for logic on these boards has been a mixed bag, but fire was and is pretty common in the world last I checked. . All of this is entirely reasonable provided your game world supports the premise sufficiently for your level of details. I can see it working for most. In my case, the dwarves would want to be paid for minting the coins, the lay folk that knew the cantrip would unionize and hide the secret of the spell behind a training program then negotiate themselves into a middle class that cost the bank money and the creation process would need to be guarded more heavily than the actual loot underpinning the financial system. All of these things raise costs and work against the reason why banks formed in the first place, to make money. As you've shown though there can be a bunch of different ways to approach this. I only replied because concern about magical fire as the primary reason to be concerned about paper is missing the point that mundane fire exists, was a threat to the templar system, and that functioned well enough.
