or because everybody just agrees to play along (modern fiat money) Everyone is just playing along with gold, too. It doesn't have any intrinsic value :P True at least in times when gold was currency Since we ditched the gold standard we have found many industrial uses for gold, mostly in electronic...

the book said that gold was generally only used on 1k silver purchases and the like yeh, it says that but it doesn’t work. Coins increase in value only 10:1 each step.

A tasked spirit is a good idea, probably an earth or air elemental spirit (merox is not the worlds greatest nethrmancer fan so is unlikely to have a ally spirit) also these spirits are smart enough to remember individuals (smarter than the average name giver), the librarians walk past without being ...
