You could do something like Village Tokens, of which each coin made in the village by the chieftain (or a lawspeaker) will embed a code into it that no one else can imitate.

But as is the current game only has coins for vending, so replacing that with tokens won't work because you'll have conflicts between villages.

So village tokens can be secondary set of coins but spent for that village... Think of it as ration tickets or something of which villagers can trade with each other, or with outsiders to let them spend it on stuff.

It basically can be held and traded by anyone, meaning you can sell your village's token to trade currencies between villages?

The one factor that really screws up currency, is the value of metal since it's very scarce in the game world...

I think only major factions should have coins, Like some people might value your "pand/sodom" coins more than your "AD" coins at certain areas, some not accepting at all.

Think of it as a shitty economy!
W3 - Apolion, Terricieil (old & new), Westedge & Saltmummys other place.
W4 - Quahog
W5 - Yggdrasil (now gone) - New Yggdrasil.

I believe the word, fellow austrian, is a fiduciary currency system. Hell, I wont argue with that.

Haha bravo, I couldn't of have said it better myself. Too bad most people don't understand or appreciate the horrible consequences of a fiat money system, or central banks for that matter. The subject is very dear to me as well, so I can understand :)

EDIT: inb4 "Jorb isn't from AUstria!"
"Austrian" is referring to one who studies Austrian economics. Or as I like to call it: "Common Sense".
