| Aug 10, 2018 at 21:59 | comment | added | Shawn V. Wilson | You mention "loot". Is this one of those games where every time the player succeeds at a task, more loot is introduced into the game? And the loot can be exchanged for gold? If so, you don't have a fixed-currency economy. | |

Removing wrong apostroph from the title (that’s a plural, not a genetive); further improving formatting of example; some minor fixes.

| Aug 6, 2018 at 9:47 | comment | added | Jasper | Are the prices of your items able to fluctuate? If not, that is in a pretty big clash with the limited supply of money and that clash is what I believe to be the root cause of the problem you are expereincing. | |

only the tables need code formatting here, the rest of the text is fine without it

| Aug 4, 2018 at 3:41 | comment | added | DMGregory♦ | One other caution: if the currency you've provided proves to be too inflexible for players' needs, they'll pick another one. Say they get tired of the logistics of handling gold with its limited supply and inconsistent availability from vendors. If apples are easy to come by, they might decide to start using apples as the medium of exchange instead. Stranger things have happened in game economies. ;) | |
| Aug 4, 2018 at 3:23 | comment | added | JBentley | Can you explain why you consider this to be a problem in the first place? I.e. why does it matter that 5500 gold is unusable? Won't the other players simply get on with things using the remaining 3500 (and market forces will take care of pricing)? (my comment is related to Josh's above). | |

| Aug 3, 2018 at 22:09 | comment | added | user1430 | As gold moves around the system, players will naturally update their perception of the value of a single coin. Do your NPCs do this as well? Or will they always sell an apple for 1 gold, even if the world is full of apples and some jerk is hording 8999 pieces of the world's gold? | |
