I'm reading through the section on currency but I'm either overlooking it or it isn't there. What is the rate of Copper to Silver to Gold? 10? 100?
Thank You,

10 copper equal a silver, 10 silver equal a gold

Thanks guys. Like I said I was probably overlooking it. I read that section twice and didn't even pay any attention to ten times its previous denomination.

You can't use Theran coinage in Throal itself. And before it was destroyed Throalic coins couldn't be used in Vivane. You would ned to convert, and there would likely be a little "loss" in the process.
Other areas (Iopos perhaps) might have their own coins, and require conversion to local currency.
It's an interesting question... when you convert the spoils of a ruined kaer into usable currency, what happens to it? Most likely the metal gets melted down and used in other things. What if you get some gold or silver coins that were tainted/corrupted and they get melted down and used for a new purpose...?

I have pulled some unsettling stuff on my players over the years.
One of the long-term plots in an ED1 campaign I ran back in the 90s involved a Horror known as the "Dreamstalker" who was introduced with a session-long shared dream sequence that played into the personal fears of the characters. Dream shaping, illusion magic, and the Corrupt Reality power made it so the characters were always a little off balance when it came to that thing.
One of my favorite moments (of many from that campaign) was when they had been captured by a secret society they had been working against for a while. While cooling their heels in their cell, the Dreamstalker appeared (by walking through the wall) and opened with, "Really, I thought you all were better than this. Walking into a trap like that." After a little bit of banter, he told them not to worry. "If you die I'll avenge you. I don't like others breaking my toys," and left. No attempt to offer them a deal to get them out.
When I put my mind to it, I can be right twisted.
