Currency

The coin system uses a simple 10:1 rule between denominations.


 * 1 platinum (pp) = 10 gold (gp) = 100 silver (sp) = 1000 copper (cp)

There is no way to directly exchange coins of one type for another. Fortunately, coins are weightless, so there is little need for that service.

When receiving money from a vendor, you receive the exact amount listed, with no conversion to the largest coin possible. (For example, if you sell something worth 500 gold, you receive 500 gold, not 50 platinum.) However, when you buy items, the game spends your smallest coins first. (If you have 10 gp and 1,009 cp, and you buy something that costs 10 gp, the game takes 1,000 of your cp.) The game also makes change when necessary.
