Currencies in fantasy settings and particularly TTRPGs (and the genre of vidya games they spawned) is a personal interest of mine.

Because they're often really boring and plain. I shall now vent about this.

Now, there's one very good reason for it: players can't be arsed with exchange rates and complexity in this area. Gold is just how much wealth-per-stab your murderhobo is currently making.

The less good reason is designer laziness. Even on the rare occasions they decide not to just name them "gold, silver, copper" it's nearly always just a fancy fantasy name slapped on top of a decimal system.

For us that makes sense. Pretty much everyone uses decimal coinage these days.

You may be aware, however, that in the past most coinage was bonkers complicated - at least, to the modern person. Before decimalisation in the 1970s, the UK had a currency loosely based on a Base 12 system.

That is, you had 12 pence (d) to 1 shilling (s) and 20s to £1 (originally, pounds were only of real use to bankers and nobles, hence the shift in number). 1s could be subdivided into sixpence, threepence and tuppence, while 1d could be divided into hapennies (1/2d) and farthings (1/4d). You also had crowns (5s) and half-crowns, groats (4d, sometimes) sovereigns (£1, different name, don't ask) and guineas (eventually fixed to £1, 1s). Plus a whole bunch of short-lived coins, which happens when your system has never been properly reformed for 800 years.

When I, a decimal child, first learned about this I thought it was insane. How could shopkeepers do anything with that mess? But what I missed was that Base 12 is the easiest for the human brain to calculate.

Yes, without computerised registers (for which Base 10 was already standardised), a human merchant, shopkeeper or customer could do more with Base 12 because 12 has so many factors: it's divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6. 10 is only divisible by 2 and 5. Despite all the weird extra coins tacked in, the basic units of pounds, shillings, pence (£sd) was easy to use. We changed it because everyone else was.

So on a setting without computers or even mechanised calculators, why do they have a decimal system?

Be brave! Confuse your readers and players! Make the currency Base 30 except for some foreign coins used as bullion that are treated as Base 7 for religious reasons.

This also lets you play around a bit with rewards - instead of a sack of coin worth 30 gold, why not present your party with some old gold coins that might be worth 30g to a lord's personal bank, or up to 200g to the right collector.

Escape from gold, too - explore your dwarves using palladium or various alloys, mithril fractions set in "less precious" metals, etc. Elves might eschew coinage altogether and use other tokens that represent a value of age or crop yield. Pre-Meiji Japan based their economic system on rice yields, with 1 ryō (the basic gold coin) being equivalent to the amount of rice one person could eat in a year (a koku).

Of course for the sake of ease you should always have a conversion chart handy, but I find that toying with currency is a simple but very effective way to worldbuild and create immersion. Plus, it's just kinda fun.

The Death of the Coin Shop and polarization of markets within coin dealing

I want to examine three trends today. They are not new, but they are accelerating:

1. Polarizing the buy and sell markets

There has been an increase in the number of venues which are “buy only” and “sell only” as market polarization increases. Physical brick and mortar shops are now increasingly “buy only” establishments from the dealer perspective, as the hobby has fewer buyers. These establishments are making their money on the buy-side of the transaction by paying under market, and have decided that to maximize profits, they will not sell in the same marketplace. Or, if they do sell – they sell only bullion and no numismatic items. What other business exists where they will buy your goods, but not sell you equivalent goods? I think this has several causes:

a. Reputation management -shops do not want to be perceived as having “bad deals” on the sell side, as it may deter potential sellers once seeing reviews from disinterested buyers.

b. Opaque pricing – Having no “sell price” allows the shop to lie about their margins to the seller. I often go to shows and hear dealers listing off to the public their “overhead” in a lengthy list in an attempt to justify their buy price. My response to those dealers is the same: if you have so much overhead, why are you in business? Not revealing the true spread allows a seller to acquire a better buy price.

d. Cash flow optimization—There is no need to have coins for sale in a physical shop – If a shop is working on an exclusively wholesale agreement, the coins may be in the door one day, and out the door next day. Shops are looking more for cash flow than optimizing profit.

e. Profit optimization – Inversely, there are some shops which confusingly will not sell to other dealers, because they have such large collector bases online that any immediate sale presents no benefit when the item will be sold at full retail in days or weeks. Any sales to small time collectors in store are more hassle when items are optimized for eCommerce fulfillment.

Some shops are now heavily moving to wholesale models where they will exclusively sell to middlemen or large wholesalers (APMEX, JP Bullion, SD Bullion, Dillon Gage). There is similarly an emerging market of pure “sell only” venues in eCommerce, with dealers originating their collections from middle-market wholesalers, and selling to other collectors online, never physically seeing the originating collection, or the collector. As mentioned on Twitter, to support this new type of sell-only venue, some shops are now selling inventory to large flippers acting as wholesalers, bypassing the traditional wholesale market. In a bout of irony, the dealers who are adamantly against eBay are now having their items being sold on eBay 2 or 3 steps down the chain, and they may even be buying the same coin once it is graded by a third party. Because of all of these, the retail “coin shop” for buyers has been dying for 40 years, but it will find new life online (but at perhaps a worse deal; the ‘good deals’ will be reserved for those with the cash and patience to be collector-dealers)

2. Disinformation by Boomers regarding profitability and the new generation of dealers

The coin dealer footprint is shrinking and consolidating as the Boomers die off. They are not going out without a fight, and seem to be transferring much of the inventory holdings to their long established business partners, rather than doing the right thing for the health of the market, and selling to younger dealers. These old time dealers often shout the myth: “I don’t make a lot of money”, but this is purely for show. Yes, coin dealers make a lot of money! Scandalous! If a coin dealer is not making serious money from their business, they are bad at business, or lying, and it is impossible to tell without examining their financial statements. A new generation of dealers are emerging, and the next 5-20 years of cleaning out the dying Boomers’ stock is going to going to lead to increasing consolidation and the passing of a torch to a new tech savvy generation of dealers. Whether the torch is passed peacefully or wrestled out of a rigor mortis stricken hand is yet to be seen.

3. The pot will call the kettle black, and it will be on Facebook

Dealers have been calling other dealers frauds and crooks since coin dealing became a profession. The fact is, collectibles as a business is not based on extracting value from labor, but speculation of rarity, supply, and demand. Therefore, there is a large incentive to issue detractions of competitors to gain competitive advantage. Many dealers accuse other dealers of the same tricks they themselves engage in, especially when it comes to sourcing and pricing. Every dealer wants to give the impression that they have a magical source of problem-free coins and their competition is polishing old inventory and selling it as uncirculated. Recently this has been weaponized via social media, and this hostility has turned off many away of the dealers wishing to sell at retail pricing for fear of ostracization by the buyer-oriented community. An effect of this absence of the retail dealers is the emergence of the buyer friendly flipper on social media. Market-to-market arbitrage on social media is now occurring very often, with schemes like Instagram-to-eBay, Reddit-to-eBay, or Instagram-to-Facebook being the modus operandi of an entire new generation of dealers. In all cases, the buy sale is being made dealer-to-dealer with high amounts of information and low information asymmetry to the more casual collector sell side market with a greater amount of information asymmetry. In no-value-add markets like collectibles, profit is the result of information asymmetry because in a perfectly level market, the margins from normal lot sizing profit would not be enough to be sustainable, and thus the market should cease to exist.

Because of all these, we will see an acceleration of polarization and a shift to online-only sales venues in the next few years. Online sales venues allow for low overhead, reduced licensing, greater efficiency, and greater physical security. Dealers are now wising up to information arbitrage as a means to profit, and that arbitrage is leading to the separation of the customers, locations, and normalities of the buy and sell markets.

This is the Mad Coin Dealer. Leave your ethics at home.

SD Bullion Owner

SD Bullion primarily sells gold, silver, and platinum-based products. They may appear to be an average bullion dealer at first glance, but there is more to their reputation than meets the eye. SD Bullion, contrary to appearances, has earned a reputation as one of the most infamous firms in the industry. Many clients have expressed their dissatisfaction with the company's unethical commercial practices. Customers have voiced dissatisfaction with inadequate customer service and a perceived lack of concern for their needs and satisfaction.

Customer complaints about overcharging and the delivery of phoney or counterfeit goods are two of the most alarming issues. This is especially upsetting in a market where purchasers place a premium on value and authenticity. Anyone thinking about working with SD Bullion, whether for buying or selling, should highly recommend heeding the comments and experiences offered by their consumers. People can make wise decisions about their dealings with this dealer by taking the time to read the reviews and concerns.

Additionally, the business has faced complaints about pushy sales tactics and alleged harassment. These complaints deal with matters pertaining to customer service, product validity, and the general customer experience.
