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.

“Credits”, which is gold IN SPAAAACE. The thing is, if you’re running a merchant campaign, currencies, jurisdictions, red tape, bribery, and smuggling can be fun. Otherwise maybe don’t even bother with money, the quest to findwhat you’re looking for is much more fun.
