Hey, can anyone who has the 1e version of U2 and Ghosts of Saltmarsh tell me if how the treasure values compare between the two versions? I have GoS but haven't had U2 for a million years. Thanks in advance!

Room by room- I am assessing whether U2 is a good fit for the game I am running that uses a variant ("ale and whores") xp system where you only get xp for throwing money away. While I was paging through it, the treasure values seemed really low for that, but I know most 1 adventures had big money big prizes in them, so was considering using the old values. Now that I have seen (some of) them, I am sold on doing so.

Throwing money away on lizard folk earns triple xp. I thought everyone knew that rule.

Last bits:
44. Barracks: U2: 3 gp in valuables, 5 ep, 20-44 sp, 9 cp, 3 flasks of oil, and a dagger; Ghosts: 10 gp in valuables, 24 sp, 20 cp, 3 flasks of oil, and a dagger.
45, 46: U2: 35 sp, 75 gp valuable, a dagger; Ghosts: 35 sp, 10 gp valuable, a dagger
47: U2: 5 gp, 11 sp, 75 gp valuable, wand of secret door and trap detection; Ghosts: 5 gp, 11 sp, 10 gp valuable, an explorer's pack (minus rations & water)
50: U2: 14-56 gp, 50 gp valuable, ring of free action; Ghosts: 25 gp valuable
51: U2: 8-32 gp, 500 gp valuable, ring of swimming; 20 gp valuable
52: U2: 500 gp valuable; Ghosts: 20 gp valuable
Optional Venture (in the Dragon lair): U2: 4800 cp, 1700 gp, 78 pp, 3800 gp valuable, scroll of protection from undead, 2 doses of potions of super-heroism, +2 scimitar, periapt of proof against poison +3; Ghosts: there's no dragon lair & the replacement critter has no treasure, but there is a reward of a potion of superior healing
I kind of wonder if that 325 pp isn't supposed to be 325 gp. Every other treasure amount is equal to or less, and that's an increase in the cash amount. Also, the bullywugs having platinum coins seems odd.
