Let’s Make Better Rpg Currencies

https://youtu.be/VADntQSNMB4?si=VUw999G0yZ0x52IW

I’m curious what currency systems my fellow #ttrpg GMs have dreamt up when #worldbuilding.

It’s always annoyed me how #dnd’s gp/sp/cp currency resembles the USD system so much in the way it is used, despite the fact that IRL a single gold coin would be worth more than my car. Does #WotC think my backpack is worth $8k? That makes no sense to me.

Also, totally makes sense they would call them gold and silver if they inherited the roman Librae, Solidi, Denarii currency system

  Denarii where originally silver, just like dollars & Yen.
