Term: Currency

The most common currencies in the game are gold pieces (gp) and silver pieces (sp). One gp is worth 10 sp. In addition, 1 sp is worth 10 copper pieces (cp), and 10 gp are worth 1 platinum piece (pp).
Most characters begin play with around 15 gp (or 150 sp) to spend on equipment, or about that much in gear from starting packs. This does not include gear from backgrounds.
