When I said gold pieces I mean gold pieces. In our games we had
pp - platinum pieces (very rare),
gp - gold pieces (rare)
sp - silver pieces (fairly common)
cp - copper pieces (very common)
gems were not an accounting device but something you bought to avoid muscle
strain. If you were carrying too much you got fatigued and it affected what
you could do. If you got too much you may have
to drop/burry/hide something else to reduce your load. Needless to
say magical items were popular in the high cost light weight category
.

We didn't go into the type of coins so a gp was a gp not a Roman or Egyptian
coin.
