Coinage

Most trade among commoners is conducted through barter, however metal coinage is an institution established by many governments.  In some areas, metal coinage can be meaningless, as the residents prefer to be paid in service or goods rather than coins they cannot use (without travelling great distances).

Coins of any type have the same weight. 50 coins = 1 pound.
