Money change! Ansalon now has a five (5) coin monetary system!!! This will allow for more accurate costs on items, as well as a lighter load to carry. Platinum = pp = The rarest metal coin on Ansalon Steel = st Silver = sp Gold = gp Copper = cp 1 pp = 100 st = 10,000 sp = 1,000,000 gp = 100,000,000 cp 1 st = 100 sp = 10,000 gp = 1,000,000 cp 1 sp = 100 gp = 10,000 cp 1 gp = 100 cp IE. A diamond that was worth 11,000 gp (110 st), is now 11,000 cp (110 gp) A star diamond was worth 1,100,000 gp (11,000 st), now worth 1 st, 10 sp (1.1 st) It's not a change of worth or cost, simply the denomination of the coins. The old 'gold and steel' is now 'copper and gold' but we have 3 more coins of incremental values of 100. IE 1 Copper of the new money is worth 1 of todays gold. 1 Gold of the new money is worth 1 of todays steel. 1 Silver of the new money, is worth 100 of todays steel. 1 Steel of the new money, is worth 10,000 of todays steel. 1 Platinum of the new money, is worth 1 MILLION of todays steel. So what this ends up doing you ask? A loaf of bread for 4 copper, a sword for 6 gold (or 600 copper), a long range crossbow might be 1 silver 2 gold (102 gold, or 10,200 copper). 2 coins was so 90's ;D (Ps. I realize that 'in the books' DL has different values, but those values did not translate into a very easily played online game, so each became an increment of 100.)
