100 Copper = Silver , 100 Silver = Gold , 100 Gold = Platinum , And Once You Reach 100 For Anyone of them it auto adds 1 coin in next tier to inventory
Example - 1 Elven Sword Is Worth 5 Gold, 10 Silver,
i think they would make skyrim really sweet, that was one of the few things i really liked about World Of Warcraft (Minus The Platinum Of Course)
I'll definitely try to see what can be done about the pricing, add more varieties of coins, and possibly do variant texture packs and coin types! After looking at this again, I've come up with tons of new ideas for it already! I'm also STUNNED to see this simple little flavor mod has 75 endorsements and am extremely grateful!!! I will make sure to review your comments and do what I can to meet everybody's desires!

New resource for coin textures, has silver and bronze. Use your own favourite gold coin txture. TES-lore friendly and neat.
It likely is named something like coin01.dds and gcoin01.dds and scoin01.dds if i remember correctly.
I'm planning tutorials for mesh and texture replacing, so just keep an eye on my profile if you want more info on this.
The value of the gold content of the coin is not be what gives it it's value. It is the High King's authority that gives value to currency.
And melting them down into ingots SHOULD lose a huge amount of the value, as well as incur the Death penalty for Treason.
And making your own coins from gold ingots would also be Treason and result in death by torture.

There is only one small problem: the currency rate's are not fix, but dynamic - depending on the factors that influence your buy and selling prices with a certain trader, especially if you use mod's for more dynamic trade/prices like "Trade and Barter" for example, the effect increase. Let me explain it: if you find 1500 copper coins (former vanilla gold) you have allways 1500 copper coins). If you find 10 platinium coins (theoretical =1500 copper coins), one trader will give you 1500 copper, one maybe 1700, one 800 or only 300 copper coins. This means the game handle the non-copper coin's not like domestic money but like a trading good or a foreign currency with fluctuating exchange rate. Which brings me to an idea: maybe you can make one version of your mod, in wich you drop the concept of different domenstic coin's and change it to different foreign currency. The main currency can be septims in the whole country (like in vanilla) and instead of silver, platinium and so on, there can be elf- or dwemer money or nord-, hammerfell-, morrowindmoney, for example. In this way a fluctuating exchange rate is okay and don't break the immersion, because what a trader is willing to give you for foreign- or unusual coin's, lies in its sole discretion. There are a lot of finished, good quality coin mod's (gold replacers) out there for such a solution (akaviri-, antic nord- and dwemercoins and so on). With the permission of the creators maybe you can use them, so the expense of time and work for you will will be small.
The standard coins of the realm have a fixed value as legal tender and selling them would be a crime. It would be treason, like those mods that let you smith gold ingots from coins and smith coins from ingots. In Anglo-Saxon England under the fairly enlightened Alfred the Great, you would be castrated for doing that!
Coins of the realm should be used only to buy merchandise and in exchange for goods and services. That is what currency is and the relative value of copper, silver, gold, electrum, platinum coins etc is fixed, just like notes are fixed at $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 etc.
Rare and unusual coins, such as ancient dwemer etc, which may be made of silver, gold, platinum, electrum or even moonstone and quicksilver or dwarven metal would be sellable for their metal content and collector's value, and not usable for exchange for goods and services. You would have to convert them into modern, local currency.
This mod seems to replace the standard currency by making the copper coins the default so that when they appear in mods like Bank of Skyrim or Trade and Barter, they replace the Septim as the standard legal tender. That is easy enough, as you just use the CK Form for coins and rename them Copper Septim or something and this will affect every mod that is loaded before it.
If silver, gold and platinum Septims cannot be made to have a standard exchange rate, then the merchantable value of these non-standard coins will then depend on your Speech skill, your perks, the Merchant's Speech skill and his interest in the objects. So they CANNOT be genuine legal tender in Skyrim as they are not accepted as such by traders, inn keepers and banks.
Maybe a patch is needed? I do not know if you could make a 150 Septims coin always worth 150 Septims, but I suspect scripting would be involved.
Also, I would suggest that if you have a copper Septim and the other coins are legal tender, there should be the:
silver Noble
golden Sovereign
platinum Dragon
Something like that - like cents, dimes, nickels, quarters, or florins, groats and ducats etc.
Otherwise, for immersion and realism, they should be made into non-standard coins that must be exchanged - you cannot spend them to buy anything expect legal tender.
emieri00 seems to completely miss the point of currency. Currency ALWAYS has a fixed value. Goods, services and merchandise is what fluctuates. If these silver, gold and platinum coins are legal tender, you MUST be able to exchange them for goods and services at the standard rate defined in the mod.
There is a mod that adds Ancient Nord and Dwemer coins that can be exchanged for septims.
Otherwise, a really great mod!
