Re: Money in TFT
The great thing about the symbols is that you can easily assign whatever meaning you want to them.
$ can mean gold or silver or copper or whatever you wish. If a player asks "how much is a dagger?" you can say "10 gold pieces" or "10 silver pieces" or "10 quatloos". I don't think it was intended to say "10 dollars" unless that's what you want to say.
As far as 10 silver pieces not being equal to 1 gold pieces in reality, Mr. Conely's exposition illustrates that it could - depending on how much silver or gold is valued and the size and weight of the coins but I doubt most people want to get this nitty-gritty with their gaming.
