I can't really think of many others where it would be.The rules of the Elemental Plane can be easily countered; in fact, more than a few DnD settings note that Earth has ongoing long-term mining operations. It's specifically mentioned in the 3E Manual of the Planes. So the mining issue is itself a moot point, as it's already been shown to be conceivable and feasible.Assuming the gods themselves would act to stop wholesale mining is not remotely likely, based upon the evidence at hand.And transporting the materials to the plane wouldn't be any more difficult than transporting elementals, which are typically living parts of the plane and should be just as difficult to get across planar boundaries.Now, that's ignoring a separate issue: That the gods themselves may stop an intentional disruption of the coinage value ratios. I would agree that this is very likely.</blockquote>
