[QUOTE="Gargoyle, post: 333202, member: 529"] [b]Re: Re: On the coin issue[/b] Thanks! (And good luck with DL, I'll probably buy it for ideas and because I love the early novels, even though I don't plan on running it) I think the problem people have with this concept is that if you're using "simple" steel coins, and steel is abundant (as evidenced by the cost of steel weapons) then counterfeiting would destroy the economy in no time. I have a suggestion. Instead of "simple steel coins", the coins should be difficult to counterfeit. It's not too hard to imagine dwarves crafting steel coins in a manner that is difficult to reproduce, even magically. An interesting result of this exclusive dwarven mint idea is that the dwarves get quite wealthy, and may even do some limited banking. Could make for some interesting adventure ideas. [/QUOTE]
