Currency¶
The five standard coins are Copper (CP), Silver (SP), Electrum (EP), Gold (GP), and Platinum (PP). Gold is the handbook’s main unit of price.
Coin conversions¶
| Coin | CP | SP | EP | GP | PP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 CP | 1 | 0.1 | 0.02 | 0.01 | 0.001 |
| 1 SP | 10 | 1 | 0.2 | 0.1 | 0.01 |
| 1 EP | 50 | 5 | 1 | 0.5 | 0.05 |
| 1 GP | 100 | 10 | 2 | 1 | 0.1 |
| 1 PP | 1000 | 100 | 20 | 10 | 1 |
For example, 1 GP = 10 SP = 100 CP; 1 EP = 5 SP; 1 PP = 10 GP. Fractions in this table describe value, not fractional physical coins. Exchanging money does not change its total value.

Fifty coins weigh 1 pound, regardless of denomination.
