I'm going to come down on the unpopular side of the discussion here because there is one thing in all of this that doesn't make sense to me. As far as I can figure from the thread of the conversation, some people want a completely arbitrary coinage system because the existing system, to them, is arbitrary. I understand that American coinage doesn't make sense, and I could certainly see a desire to put the coins in your native culture's currency, but I can't wrap my mind around the concept of arbitrary coinage based on colors or animals or whatever. What you're basically advocating is that we go from a system where some people understand the denominations to one in which no one does. Were I in Josh's shoes, I would put a description of each coin in the manual, and I would leave it at that. This way people who didn't understand could learn, and they'd have some real--albeit esoteric--knowledge to show for it. All the best, Ryan
