I am running a game set in the Second Age (the game system is irrelevant to
this discussion) and am thinking about coins. I seem to recall that the
silver coin was introduced to Peloria by the Lunars. Prior to that, the gold
"Wheel" was the only coin in use. Is this true? What about the copper coin?
Where and when did that come from?
So far in my game, I have priced everything based on divisions of the Wheel
= W, hW, qW, "pieces of eight", etc. It seems possible that the Dara Happans
would divided Wheels into tenths, but that isn't nearly as easy to do as
simply cutting the things in half.
