Reminds me of Satou from Death March. He once went to a charity event by the local church, and was just stirring the simple soup the church made for the poor. Gourmet aristocrats started queuing up to eat that. Because he has maxed-out cooking skill.
Their "gold" isn't worth much. But 10 gold would buy you a modest meal (like a curry bread or a god-blessed soup), while 10 000 gold would buy an express mail (delivered by eagle!). I think using 1 gold = 5 Russian rubles is good enough as a quick and dirty conversion.
...So a McD's burger patty is $0.60 worth of ground beef, huh? Jesus, no wonder they make bank.
Edamame and smoked skipjack tuna in fried rice sounds pretty good though? Just, needs more ingredients.
I think a simple 10 Gold = 1 Yen conversion, or even a 100 gold = 1 dollar rough conversion, is sufficient. 1 gold = 5 rubles is almost equivalent to a 10 gold = 1 yen rate, anyways, and I think something a lot more people would be more familiar with.
well if you know how old the recipe is you can use a calculator to adjust for inflation
…no they don’t match, especially for me since i hate edamame. That was a hell that the family has made clear that only ma liked it, and if the resident not-picky eater family member hates it, then it’s not good.
I've had edamame and skipjack before and it's pretty delicious to me (just never as fried rice additions), so I think it might just be a difference of taste thing. Just, like I said, needs more ingredients to make it a proper meal. Especially since, as you said, you hate edamame.
I think that (like in a lot of manga) 1 gold = 1 yen, so it would only be about $3,000 USD, which sounds about right for a short-term loan to an orphanage where the biggest expenditure would be food, which they'd be buying the cheapest of in bulk.
hmmm Common food cost around 20-40 gold, most cheaper end food in japan cost around 500 yen if we use the same inflation rate
Early in the story, they told us that 2 silver coins and a few copper ones add to 224 "gold". So most likely, it's 1 silver coin = 100 copper coins = 100 gold, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10 000 copper coins = 10 000 gold.
Blame Dragon Quest and similar games that simplified D&D's copper/silver/gold/platinum currency setup to just a single "GOLD" value, such that it is a trope in and of itself for fantasy stories of any sort, now, even if the currency is not itself gold coinage.
I won't really blame them tho.... unified currency sounds neat, it is rather ridiculous if time travel is involved tho, i mean it is not a problem using money in the stone age despite minting gold coin there should be difficult
You should, because it's like you're buying everything in cents, and all the forms of currency that comprise dollars including larger denomination bills, don't exist. So, no dime, no nickel, no quarter, no half-dollar, no dollar (bill or coin), no $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, etc. Just "Gold", and everything is in priced in the hundreds of them, so enjoy carrying around giant sacks of heavy currency (if they were zinc coins exactly equivalent to modern American zinc pennies, somehow, then the 300,000G that the orphanage gets from this festival, would be 750,000g, aka 750kg. A night's rest in a modest inn is about 400G, so that would be 1kg; generally you'd want at least a week's worth of rentals, so the cost of just the inn room would be 7kg, under this system).
I mean who gives a shit about multiple Currency when 1 currency does the job.
What you describe is something completely different, under barter rules rather than currency, and you know it. Don't be that guy.
huh what are you talking about ?
