Let’s Make Better Rpg Currencies

I’m curious what currency systems my fellow #ttrpg GMs have dreamt up when #worldbuilding.

It’s always annoyed me how #dnd’s gp/sp/cp currency resembles the USD system so much in the way it is used, despite the fact that IRL a single gold coin would be worth more than my car. Does #WotC think my backpack is worth $8k? That makes no sense to me.

    Unsurprisingly, non-goblins tended not to bother with goblin currency.

    Until one of your players invents currency speculation and gets rich. Though that could lead to a cool arc where the bankrupt goblin clans come after them for revenge.
