5e: Money & Money WeightĪccording to the Dungeon Master’s Guide (DMG, pg 133), any 50 coins weigh roughly 1 pound-0.453 kg-which makes the weight of an individual coin about 9 grams. Your PCs might need to go fetch some to deal with a repeat of history with these aberrations. So the world’s electrum was almost entirely turned into weapons. The coins disappeared when a horde of aberrations from the far realm invaded the world, and electrum was the only metal alloy that could hurt them without the weapons being enchanted. Here’s an idea of my own: electrum is exceedingly rare, and at one point, electrum coins were equivalent to current day platinum ones. They refer to them as ‘mage money’.” ( u/dmazmo) “In one of my campaigns, the Mage guild deals exclusively in Electrum, because it is used to craft wands and magical goods. While el ectrum is a real-world metal alloy, you can still make it awesome with some creativity. When they do pop up, it’s as a coin type that was used in the remote past and is now nothing more than a historical curiosity. That’s normal most settings and gaming groups don’t use them. Some of you might be seeing electrum coins for the first time.
Often, adventuring is so lucrative that PCs hoard cool stuff in a way that feels unearned. Characters can spend money on lifestyle, transportation, toolsets, magic items/services- depending on playstyle -even on training and real estate. So how much is one gold piece to USD, and how can you use it?ġ gp is roughly 100 USD.
Not only does it take into account many more trade goods than just beer, but it also factors in medieval gold currency from the 1300s and used pre-COVID values. There isn’t a definitive way to do this, but people all over have tried, and I love this particular attempt by Reddit user u/aerithynn. Beer being the only measure of purchasing power that truly matters, this is the objective Truth. So two sp equal US$ 50.82, which means one gp equals US$ 254.1. A longneck contains about 350 ml of beer, making a gallon about 10.7 long necks. The average price of a longneck beer bottle in the US is $4.75 as of 2021.
In D&D 5e’s table of expenses for food and lodging, a gallon of ale costs two silver pieces (sp), which means 0.2 gold pieces (gp).
