Coinage Help

Now, I changed the worth of most of the metals, but if I set electrum to the same $10,500/lb as DF (the average between silver's $1,000/lb and gold's $20,000/lb), I see a penny-sized coin would be worth $135, while a nickel-sized one would be worth $269. So, your $200 electrum coin is right between a penny and a nickel in size. There would be 52.5 such coins to the pound.

Thanks for the information! That's a neat idea. I'd somehow forgotten about coingold, so thanks for reminding me!

My mantra right now is: Making coinage is fun. Now to just repeat it a few hundred times a day!
