I recently started rolling an idea around in my head. D&D worlds have a lot of precious metals going around. Piles of gold coins is unrealistic by real world standards. What if copper, silver, and gold coins are the scales of copper, silver, and gold dragons?
What if that's part of why peaceful with metallic dragons (their discarded scales are valuable, but killing them stops them from shedding more). What if that's part of why dragon slaying is a big mythic idea? What if chromatic dragons were hunted because their scales are only useful for armor?
Brass and Bronze dragons could have kick-started the bronze age.
