Use of coins for anything of significant value (10<sub>8</sub> marks or more)
Use of coins for anything of significant value (10<sub>8</sub> marks or more) is very unusual due to the inconvenience of carrying bags of metal disks around. Use of coins for anything beyond making change usually marks someone as an adventurer (who may be traveling to places where paper money is not accepted, or is trying to pay with ancient coins they dug out of a dragon's lair or something) or as someone who is normally paid in coins (like a shoe shiner).
