Default Weights and measures

To have the observed encumbrance effect the gold bars of death test need to weigh around 10 pounds (7 cubic inches of gold, say 1" x 2" x 3.5")

By ITL 67 there are 100 gold coins to the pound so that is $10,000 worth of gold and not the $1,000 listed value of the gold bar.

However a gold coin that weighed 100th of a pound would be smaller than an American penny.

The adjustment needs to be made at ITL 67. Copper coins are 100 to the pound and are the size of American pennies. Silver and gold coins are 20 to the pound and therefore around the size of the Spanish "Pieces of Eight" silver coins.
