Virtually any intelligent being (dwarf, human etc.) you find can have coins in their inventory - provided they have a suitable container on their person, typically a small [[Tool|pouch]]. Coins from dwarven civilizations are named after the civ's name and the year they were minted as described above - other races name their coins after their civ's name and the name of the reigning ruler. Each civilization maintains its own currency, and coins minted by one civilization will not retain their value if you travel to a town belonging to a different civilization. For this reason, it can be more practical to exchange excess coinage for other small and valuable (barter) objects like [[gem]]s. Coins are also useful for throwing at enemies. |

Human and dwarven civilizations frequently utilize their coins in shops and markets. They seem to be the only civilizations to actually use currency. Elves do not appear to use coins in their trades, goblins do not appear to participate in commerce at all, and kobolds only barely grasp the concept of ''communication'', so expecting them to understand the finer points of economics is a bit mean. | Human and dwarven civilizations frequently utilize their coins in shops and markets.
