Mining Precious Metals

Post by Ungtar » Sat Oct 17, 2015 2:38 pm

Is there a way we could buy "coin moulds" and at the precision forges mint our own coins from the precious metals we mine?

Maybe based on the quality of the ingot?

I am not sure about moulds for coins, but it would be cool to have moulds for "bars of platinum" and so on that you could exchange at the bank for coins. A bar = 50 platinum coins or so on. Maybe it could take a like 20 ingots of "low" quality and like 5 ingots of "outstanding" to make a bar.

I would think any merchant caught selling mint-your-own-currency moulds is about to be in for a bad time with the local authorities. Trade bars would be pretty cool though!
What are you talking about? What, that guy?
That was like that when I got here.

Possibly. There aren't any international forgery laws though and all of our coins are simply "gold coin" not a Cormyr coin or a Thayan coin.

There's a dozen ways to do this, but at the end I'd just like these lumps of silver/gold/platinum to have a realistic value beyond turning them into cones or hourglasses or whatnot.

I'd say trade bars could be darn useful! Would give a payout for mining! For when no lapidarist/weaponsmiths/armourers aren't around.
