Currency

Coins of copper, silver, gold, and platinum are the main form of **Currency** throughout the multiverse, although some cultures rely primarily or solely on barter, and in the Lower Planes souls serve as a grisly form of currency. Indeed, the dreadful Night Hags primarily eke out their living as soul traffickers.

While exchange rates might regionally vary, ten **Copper Pieces** (CP) are generally worth one **Silver Piece** (SP), ten silver pieces are worth one **Gold Piece** (GP), and ten gold pieces are worth one **Platinum Piece** (PP).

In most cultures, copper pieces are the primary coins used by most of society, with silver and goild coins being used almost exclusively by the upper classes. Rarer still, platinum coins are generally used only by organizations and the wealthiest of individuals.

In many, if not most, societies across the multiverse an unskilled laborer, such as a peasant farmer or urban worker, earns roughly 1 GP per month.
