Money
By agreement of the global council for trade and commerce, the precious metals Copper, Silver and Gold were identified on Mithrym as universally valuable. As such, every kingdom and empire mints their own coins from these metals to a uniform weight.
1 Copper Piece (1cp) is the smallest amount of money
10 Copper Pieces (10cp) = 1 Silver Piece (1sp)
10 Silver Pieces (10sp) = 1 Gold Piece (1gp)
