    A question about currency in BR

    I can't remeber that there is some information about currencies in the
    boxset or the supliments. Now when thinking about it I have not used
    anything else than the classic pp, gp, ep, sp, cp.

    What do you rest use, the classic coins, each country has it's own, a
    larger region has it's own (e.g. anuire, rjuvik, breshtur has it's own)
    or ....

    Do you use a one to one exchange rates, do you have special coins in
    different countries/areas which are worthless outside that area or has a
    lower/higher value.

    A question about currency in BR

    Just an idea for naming money:

    Platnum: Hyperion
    Gold: Nomismata
    Electrum: Millasarion
    Copper: Follis

    Oh, and not my idea.

    The Muden Sourcebook also provides names of coins from the Brecht region
    if memory serves.

    Personally I use (fairly interchangeably)
    Gold: Florins, Crowns, Krona, Marks, Talents
    Silver: Crowns, Guineas, Schillings, Shekels
    Copper: Farthings, Pennies, Pfennig, Dinar

    You'll notice that gold has more names than any others. I'm damned if
    I can remember what Krona breaks down into.
