Converting $D&D to $DFRPG

If you look at mundane gear, in 3.5e a longsword is 15 gp, a suit of mail is 150gp. The equivalent in DFRPG are $700 and $2,700. These are obviously not entirely equivalent, but most likely the sword is the anomaly, the price difference between swords and other weapons in D&D is much smaller than it is in DF. This argues for 1 gold = $20 (basically, take all D&D gold and turn it into silver and keep the amounts the same).
