What are your denominations then? Do you just shift the currencies downward and add something to replace cp?
ie.
D&D pp = gp
D&D gp = sp
D&D sp = cp
D&D cp = new coin
Or do you use something more esoteric that makes converting published prices more work to do?
In our world we are limited to the amount of gold but in a fantasy game you have access to other worlds and planes, where gold could be very common. I once had high level adventures make a raid on one to fund a war!
I try to use silver and gems more than not. Then there is the barter system.

The standard of currency in the campaign's central country is the silver tael. Ten bronze baos equal one tael. One hundred taels equal one golden emporer. Wealthy merchants and some well-regarded nobles will underwrite banker's notes (banker's notes are essentially traveler's cheques) against their fortunes, which are good in various places across the empire and available to the PCs as a service for which they pay a percentage of the wealth they want converted to notes. Among the poor and in rural regions, the barter system holds sway. Money can be bartered for goods, of course, but not many people actually have money. A chicken is worth one bao and a pig is worth a tael, so animals are often used as currency among the lower classes. Grain and rice can be bartered likewise. The value of these things fluctuates regionally based on supply-and-demand.kenjib said:
1. Core Ethos Sentence:
All Livestock Must Die is a dark fantasy setting where the people struggle to barely move against an overwhelming tide of chickens, cows, pigs, geese, turkeys, sheep, and assorted other poultry and livestock that cover the land to a depth of five feet. Buried in cattle and flocks of sheep, the heroes must face the angst of an uncertain future, where at any moment they may be smothered by wool or feathers.
2. Who are the heroes?
Generally, the heroes of the land must be at least 6 foot in height in order to be able to breath.
3. What do they do?
Boldly barbecue, fricassee and butcher their way across the land! (Or, failing that, at least a few feet forward.)
4. Threats, Conflicts, Villians?
Necroshepherds and fiendfarmers are bringing in yet more barnyard animals from the Abyss, the Nine Hells and the Negative Material Plane - only, this time, these new arrivals are fiendish cattle, and lich sheep. Millions of dire chickens and poultrygeists further challenge the ability of our heroes to move, or even speak, as they struggle against the torrent of clucking, mooing, squawking doom.
5. Nature of Magic?
Ovinomancy, bovinomancy and poultrymancy are outlawed. Fireball has been renamed to Instant Barbecue, and remains the most useful spell in the game.
6. What’s new? What’s different?
Nothing, really. It's a logical outcome of the core rules.
