Uhhh thanks? Forgive me, I havn't mathed in a while, but does that mean that every gold coin is approximatly double the weight of a copper coin, or like a bagillian times the weight of a copper coin? Highly technical terms here | |

Nope; nobody cares. heh. On the first day of All That Glitters, we discussed exactly this issue. All coins weigh the same (50 coins per pound), solely because players shouldn't have to do density calcs every time they find loot. It's a game, not a simulation. | |

I was posting it b/c I got curious so I looked it up. In real world, equal sized coins of gold are ~2x the mass of copper coins. OR: Copper coins have to be twice as thick to ge the same weight. I provided the numbers for the sake of the lulz. | |
