> ----------------------------- 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 . > The 'A' does NOT stand for accountant. We didn't go into the type of coins so a gp was a gp not a Roman or Egyptian coin. > [quoted text omitted]
