The players reaction makes it better of course.The only theing I usually do is bump the value of coins up by 10 ( so that something in the PHB that costs 7gp instead cost 7sp.) I like the idea of coins being relatively rare and valuable. Plus someone carrying around 100,000 gp kinda strains my disbelief. I also tend to use non-coins as rewards, jewelry, art objects and animal trophies (ivory, expensive pelts, valuable eggs -- dragon eggs anyone?) etc.However I still enjoy the occaisional, a large chest containing almost 3, 000 cp. and a few other coins (and lerefore weighing 300pounds) and having the PC's try to bring it out. I assume that smart wealth seeking PC's will have hirelings and animals/carts to help extract loot. If this is done then weight can be abstracted/forgotten.Of course it really all depends on the type of campaign being run/type of PC's. The last campaign I ran saw virtually no coin treasure from levels 1-5, rewards were in kind or favours owing.</blockquote>
