Equipment

Money is primarily in the form of gold and silver coins. Silver coins are more common among peasants and laborers, while middle and upper classes rely on gold. Coins are about the size of a half-dollar and weigh about 0.64 oz. Thus 25 coins weigh a pound, and 250 coins are +1 burden. Here are the approximate values of coins in the land:

Coin	Metal	Abbr.	Value	Notes
Wheel	Gold	wh	1000	Used for large transactions
Royal	Gold	gp	100	Also called an "orb"
Noble	Silver	sp	10	Also called a "plate"
Common	Copper	cp	1	Also called a "penny"
Leaf	Electrum	cp	20	Archaic

Wages are typically one gold coin per day for mercenaries and other professionals. Peasants and laborers typically get 1-10 silver per day, depending on demand. Experts or craftsmen can command somewhat higher wages, typically 2-10 gp per day, depending on skill.

Equipment prices are shown in generic coins. If using the Wealth system, divide each price by 10 to get its value.
