![]() A unique property of orichalum coinage is that any arcane spellcaster can place two coins, one atop the other, and force them to fuse together, doubling in weight and thickness. Still, the coins retain their value, and even if they can't always be redeemed for spell services, they are still considered to be worth 100 gp each. ![]() These coins were used as a form of payment from a powerful society of wizards, with anyone being able to redeem these coins for arcane spellcasting at a later date, but the wizards society is long dead. In ye olde days, powerful wizards would craft these coins (supposedly from 'pure magic') and each one represents a single spell level of arcane spellcasting services (generally worth 100 gp). Parallel to adamantine bits are coins of orichalum, a warm reddish-gold in color, crafted by ancient wizards. Pretty much every other race uses a flat value, and doesn't bother with the 'gnomish nonsense,' although someone who plays the system can make (or lose) a fortune on speculating the gnomish coin exchange. Gnomes use a ridiculously complex system, contantly changing as values fluctuate and news of the 'new value' are disseminated from gnomish moneylender to gnomish moneylender, based off of alchemical metals, with the usual copper, silver and gold, but also flasks of mercury for 25 gp denominations. Dwarves blow right past mithril pennies and also use adamantine bits (which are shaped like little pyramids and are worth 10 mithril pennies or 100 golden pennies).ĭwarves prefer alloyed coins, using electrum, brass, bronze, etc. Halflings and elves generally use mithril pennies as their highest denomination. ![]() Each gold sovereign is worth 10 gold pennies (or 1 mithril penny). Larger gold coins exist (the size you'd see in Pirates of the Carribean) and are called 'gold doubloons' or 'gold sovereigns.' (and yeah, they aren't 'double' anything, it's just a name). I don't like platinum, so I replace it completely with mithril pennies.Ĭoins start with copper pennies, silver pennies, golden pennies and then mithril pennies. ![]()
