I'd certainly be interested in seeing them.. trying to create a believable
(and interesting) medieval (fictionalised medieval admittedly) style
economy is something that intruiges me as a possibility for Caffeine.
Right now we just made basic decisions and steps (to allow working of

infact about 50 grammes of gold with the given value of 1gp, and thusly
money has weight).
