I agree, Liam. A lot of reasons that people have issues with
games in general is because they never bother to read the manual.

Hi Ryan, Dark, and all,
Ryan basically summed up our line of thinking extremely succinctly. Using gold,
silver, etc, would be just as arbitrary to many people as colors would be, as
most metals do not have radically varying textures.
The problem would exist for nearly any system you could think
occoli. That stuff's awful.
All the best,
Ryan

what coins are called in the country it's used in.
