Coinage

Coins of Bramble Grove are, by far, the most common form of currency used in trade for both small and large purchases. All coins work on a factor of 10, with the following order: Copper Ergo, 1 Platinum Piece = 10 gold pieces = 100 silver pieces = 1000 copper pieces.
Given the fantasy nature of the world, prices for various goods and services are more consistent with how they would have been during medieval times rather than modern day.
All people would be familiar with copper and silver pieces. Anyone above farmers or peasants would be familiar with gold pieces. Platinum pieces are relatively rare outside of the extremely wealthy, merchant, banking, or noble circles as they are primarily used for large amounts of currency exchanges. For all coinage, 50 coins approximately equals 1 pound of weight (do not need to track for character sheets).

Platinum Piece (also called Groves)

Gold Piece (Also called Trees)

Silver Piece (Also called Twigs)

Copper Piece (Also called leaves)
