Commission for the Creation of a Minecraftian Currency

[Vernima]

As the title suggests, this will be a thread dedicated to discussion pertaining to the creation of a standardized currency within the current SLUan Minecraft Server.
One of the mods (Artifice) allows for the creation of 4 denominations of coins:
Shillings (copper)
Florins (silver)
Sovereigns (Gold)
and Marques (Platinum)
All of the coins (except the Marque) are relatively easy to make, especially with the increased orespawn present in the modpack. If the currency system was implemented, a Regional Mint would also be instated to ensure the currency does not become so easy to acquire as to be useless. Distribution methods for the currency would also be discussed in the thread.
Even if you haven't joined/played on the server for a while or can't join the server for some reason, please give us your input if you plan on joining at any time in the future! This decision will affect everyone who will play on the server at all, so your input is greatly valued.

Sounds like a nice idea! Not a fan of the names provided (Florins ought to be gold, Sovereigns ought to be Platinum, in my opinion), but that's only a minor point in the grand scheme of things. I have't yet played the mod, so I'll refrain from saying as yet whether I genuinely support this idea or not, but it sounds like a fair system, and one that could add some interesting aspects to gameplay :)

Unfortunately the coins are actual items in-game and they can't really be changed without messing with the mod itself :P I would agree but I kinda like the names. They sound exotic.

[Avaerilon]

It's not the names themselves I dislike- it's just the coins they've been assigned to don't make sense with the names. Also, "marque" generally means company or brand; "mark" would be more correct. I guess the modder just doesn't share my passion for linguistics :P Oh well

I'm planning on joining the new server pretty soonish and would be interested in the currency system. Could you, perhaps, provide a link to the mod information page so I can read up on what exactly it does? I could probably write a policy guidance document for the Regional Mint.

Here's the wiki pages for the items in question, if it helps:

I'd also welcome any Regional Mint policy proposals.
