Coins and Currency

Source Player Core pg. 267 2.0
Though you might be able to barter valuable items in some areas, currency is the most versatile way to make transactions when you head to market. The most common currency is coins. There are four common types of coins, each standardized in weight and value.
  • The copper piece (cp) is worth one-tenth of a silver piece.
  • The silver piece (sp) is the standard unit of currency. Each silver piece is a standard weight of silver and is typically accepted by any merchant or kingdom no matter where it was minted.
  • The gold piece (gp) is often used for purchasing magic items and other expensive items, as 1 gold piece is worth 10 silver pieces or 100 copper pieces.
  • The platinum piece (pp) is used for the purchase of very expensive items or as a way to easily transport large sums of currency. A platinum piece is worth 10 gold pieces, 100 silver pieces, or 1,000 copper pieces.

Other Currency

Art objects, gems, and raw materials (such as those used for the Craft activity) can be used much like currency: you can sell them for the same Price you can buy them.
