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.

Wait, beer rots? Gonna look into this real quick. Sounds like something beer shouldn't do

Edit: Turns out ale was nearly nonalcoholic back then and was viewed the way protein shakes are now

@Shkshkshk @malin @rpg yeah wasn't it basically *just enough* alcohol to make it safer to drink than water?

Most beer nowadays contains some preservatives. Hops was the first natural preservative added to beer. With very few exceptions, beer is supposed to be drink fresh after a short “aging” period and starts deteriorating flavor in the bottle.

Unpasteurized beer spoils much faster. It might not rot super fast because the yeast can compete with other bugs to an extent, but it’ll sure start tasting progressively worse as time goes on.
