How To Make Currency Work

[mvgulik]

Coins shodn't have QL. End of story.

Having coins that do not have a quality level attached to them might make things simpler.
(so coins would only have a quantity value. currently thats only 1.)

But than again ...
If a player from a area where they use only low Q coints (lets say 10..15) travels to a other area where they generally only use 30..40q coins ... He has a problem.
Or ... Your city/village just got the opportunity to open up a Coins Exchange serves. (provided there is some use for lower quality metals.)

This in turn would probably in the long run also intice village's to use/create higher quality coins. (possible coins quality status competition between village's/city'/groups.)

it means use gold and silver since they don't have a Q

[Yolan]

Man... we gotta get ourselves some of those coins....

No, coins can be converted to and from both nuggets and bars.

You can not make coins from nuggets, I just tried this.

Unless there's some zulu magic shit I'm missing this kinda sucks balls and I'm making a thread because this should happen, there's no reason it shouldn't be makeable from nuggets

[ThirdEmperor]

You actually have to type "zulu magic shit" in order to make coins from nuggets.

It also makes your cow spawn Cow Eggs.

OK, so, concept - wouldn't iron/steel/bronze coins be as valuable or possibly more valuable than silver and gold? You can do interesting things with steel, but not so much with gold.

Perhaps you should look into Jewelry, gold/silver (and more specifically gold) are the best of the best, the rarest mines to find, and the hardest to get anything out of.

But most players would prefer iron to gold, you can't build metal plows, grinders and scythes with gold

[PratzStrike]

Exactly. Right now I want a good pickaxe more than I want a necklace.

Typical mid-game attitude. I thought Jewelry was pointless until I realized how good it is. Pickaxes/Scythes are things any schmoe joe with a copper/tin or iron mine can sell you. Jewelry on the other hand...
