[QUOTE="Horwath, post: 8177755, member: 6801299"] 1st. Even in PHB it is stated that most wealth is not in coin but in good. And prices for trade goods are more or less fixed unless it's shortage of some goods. So you can trade that for same way as currency. But, as people stated, coin is just so much simpler. We did invent money for just that thing. 2nd. We should really get to the silver standard in prices, and have gold-silver-copper value be multiple of 100 not 10 1GP = 100 SP = 10.000 CP So prices in CP stay the same, prices in GP are now prices in SP, and prices in SP are now in CP multiplied by 10. I.E: Club is 10 CP, Dagger is 2 SP, Breastplate would be 400 SP or 4 GP Fullplate 1500 SP or 15 GP Much more practical to have few hundred GPs as an adventurer, rather than lugging around chests of gold. Certain gems(diamonds) can be cut to be standard valued at 100 GP or 10.000 SP or 1.000.000 CP [/QUOTE]
