Please read the whole thing, its self explanatory. If you need translation it's planned for later.

This doesn't answer my question. I asked what is the logic behind using gold/silver as a coin material

probably because it's harder to produce than simple cast iron or tin coins so just abusing them such as Dis has done in previous markets are more costly, then you can also melt coins back into bars i believe so traders can reuse them in their own production possible (if that's still a mechanic).

The reason is otherwise they wouldn't get their 10% (iirc) cut for people buying into their currency.

Tax seems fair and their coins represent real value. Even if they'd try to overflood market with their currency, noone would really be harmed, becouse those coins can be smelted back into bars. Just like in real world, money aside from number written on it needs to represent any value

I think it's pretty good system. How does the Dis market work? Pretty sure it's similar or exactly the same but nobody knows because your useless thread is entirely devoid of pictures and information. Well that's not completely true, at least you have pics from last world's market!

Wow, so many dis haters came here, sadly noone brought logic.

I asked this question because it would be an interesting idea to make currency that is equal to the price of raw material. It will lead to the possibility for everyone to make silver/gold unsigned coins and exchange them for goods, without supervisor.
But according to the first post, this is not the case. Still waiting for the response...

Just read the original post again while applying the "logic" you're asking for.

I moved a few posts from here to Hel because they're starting to derail into a squabble. Apxeolog has a valid question, I think, and deserves a reasonable answer.* A few of the replies either don't answer the question or just chit chat, but moving towards derailing it. Try to stay on topic, folks.

*I think, as pointed out, the answer is there, but I think the answer may be laid out better. I'm not the one asking the question or that created the system, so can't say for sure what either side is thinking.

you can smelt gold/silver coins back to bars and use them if you dont need the coins, and have gold and silver (that have value). about why to use coin system

For the sake of fairness, if it's a debate or a detailed response he wants maybe it's best if he asked that in ICA as is the rule for the Samarkand thread.
