Neither in basic rules nor in the books themselves. I've been keeping an eye out for that just in case. Might be stated somewhere on the official website? If so, we need that quote.And, I've taken a look at those and nodded. It does depend a lot on which material you go by as to what value you end up with. I've also seen calculations that ended up with a gold piece equal to a dollar.It gets worse when you get into the technological differences, as you're dealing with translating from a high-technology, machine-reliant capitalist society to a proto-capitalist, hand-worked, low-technology society. So, that is why I eventually suggested going by commonality of currency denomination usage; otherwise, we're going to run into a lot of problems with translation and resulting figures that are flat-out insane at times.And that's before you hit the fact that some materials and goods are simply a lot cheaper or a lot more expensive due to technological differences or practical necessity (alcohol, for example, used to be much more commonly available than it is today).</blockquote>
