All the coins in the area have been changed. The head side no longer bears the traditional image (usually Galifar I) but instead the face of whoever last touched the coin. The expression matches that held at the moment of the Mourning.The coins are of course no longer legal tender. If several are melted down, an audible scream can be heard coming from the metal. If only one or two are melted at the time, the screams are inaudible to all but the keenest ears.A few places and faces: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A man lies fallen in the street next to a stall, the coins which fell from his hand all bear a horrified expression.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A changeling shopkeeper, slumped over his counter, has some coins under his hand. The face is that of a bored but handsome half-elf.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In a tavern, a man's corpse at the bar carries coins in his purse. In the right light you can see his tipsy expression blush in the copper's shine.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Cyrian Society for Peace was collecting for their charity on a street corner. The coins in the bucket show dozens of faces from around the town.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In the home of an explorer, there is a chest full of ancient coins from the Dhakaani empire. While the uppermost coins bear the face of the explorer (who was halfway through a haircut at the time) the deeper coins bear hobgoblin skulls. Some of them are broken and some of them show nothing more than specks of bone.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">At an interrupted funeral, the casket is still lying open, and the old woman inside has a serene expression, which is matched by the gold coin on each of her eyes.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In a safe, the party finds a purse of platinum coins bearing the face of the person who hired them to go look at the town. All of the faces are laughing. Did he happen to hear a hilarious joke at that moment, or is something more sinister going on?</li> </ul>Of course, this could be useful as a clue if your players are looking for someone who passed through here before the day of mourning.</blockquote>
