💰5e - Currency💰

Coinage varies widely in appearance across realms and sometimes even between cities. Coins are minted with the faces of different rulers and in different shapes or patterns. Sometimes these designs represent their originating culture, and sometimes simply to make a forger’s job harder and rightly so — despite best efforts to thwart them, forgeries are common.

Merchants and vendors may be suspicious if your character’s spending power is incongruous with their appearance, and may test coins (either openly or surreptitiously).

Most coins from across the world are made from the same weight of their respective metal, ensuring easy trade across continents and oceans. A silver piece is the usual standard unit of wealth, and when discussing deals and trade merchants will often refer to value in silver pieces even if the final trade involves gems, metal bars, or services.

The average day’s wage for a skilled artisan such as a tailor, carpenter, or armorer is a single silver piece.

Tauschrate zwischen Münzen und relativer Wert

Die meist genutzten Münzen sind Kupfer-, Silber- und Goldmünzen. Es gibt auch noch Messing, Elektrum und Platinmünzen, diese werden aber allgemein als “Zwischenmünzen” angesehen. Preise werden ausschließlich in den drei wichtigsten Münzarten angegeben.

Tägliche Kosten zum Leben in verschiedenen finanziellen Situationen

Die folgende Tabelle zeigt die ungefähren Lebenskosten einer Person in einem bestimmten Lebensstil auf. Dies sind durchschnittliche Werte und können von Region zu Region abweichen.

Die Werte gelten meist für Stadtbewohner, da diese Geld regelmäßiger benötigen und ausgeben, als Landbewohner.

Trading

While silver pieces and other coinage are used to describe the value of items throughout this chapter, they are not the only way wealth manifests itself in the world. Merchants and crafters accept coins, and most people will have access to coins to give as quest rewards. Other types of currency and trade are common too. Gems, information, services, and exchanged goods are useful ways for the average person to acquire what they need. Working people of every stripe may find it easier to barter day-to-day, and many local governments accept taxes in valuable items that meet the amount due —whether that be poultry or fine wines. The wealthy may trade in the same way albeit on a grander scale such as with deeds, parcels of land, or full bars of precious metal.
