Gold coins are so rare that most common people will never see one. I guess it means there are 30,000 gp in circulation total, and there is a lot more in silver pennies?Still, most kingdoms and nobles are operating at a deficit and cannot afford to maintain standing armies, fix roads, build palace after palace,  etc. Most peasants barter. The average daily wage for most people is actually LESS than one silver piece, but a handful of farthings (4 farthings = 1 silver penny, 10 silver pennies = 1 gold pound). A servant makes around 288 silver pennies per year, a prostitute around 432, and I forget the rest but there is a list for Harn that breaks it down by day, week, month and year for all professions.I'd like some clarification from Harniacs about this... or anyone else who has an idea.</blockquote>
