Currencies: Gold, Silver, Copper

Each Dwarven and Human culture have illustrious histories of exchanging coins formed from precious metals for goods and services. The timeless art of minting coins has produced a variety of designs from each province of the world. Each country is unique in the diameter, thickness, and pattern of its coins which causes some complexity when traveling.   General conversion rates across Miras follow 10 copper to 1 silver, 15 silver to 1 gold. Due to varying sizes from different mints, converting currencies requires a balance scale.
