[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 8390766, member: 72555"] I'd keep it as pounds. The standard coin is 0.01 pounds. Imperials are 3x, so 0.03 pounds (which means silver/copper imperials are [B]beefy[/B]; gold imperials are euro-sized). Pennies, which only exist for Silver and Copper, are half sized coins (so 0.005 pounds). (technically the standard gp is a penny) Use of pennies and imperials and standard coins should only occur when you want the flavour in game. You shouldn't ask players to track them. I might go with (by weight) 100 copper = 1 silver 10 silver = 1 gold 3 gold = 1 platinum but nobody except the ancients coined platinum, so platinum imperials are actually 9 gold (pennies) = 1 platinum (imperial). As coins are secondary to weight, this isn't that annoying. A fun bit is that the "pound" becomes a standard unit of currency, as in pounds of silver. 1 pound of silver is 10 gold pennies or 1 platinum imperial. Converting prices to pounds of silver becomes easy. XX Book gp = 0.XX pounds of silver. XX Book cp = 0.XX pounds of copper. XX Book sp = X.X pounds of silver. [/QUOTE]
