The value of gold, silver and copper in the magical world is tied to the ratio between their prices on the open market. As an average during this period, the following ratios are in effect.
The ratio between gold and the US Dollar represents the price per troy ounce. Since a gold piece is defined as 1/50 lbs of gold, the average ratio between gold and the US Dollar is $6 per gold piece. The value of gold continues to rise against the dollar. In 1940, $8 will equal 1 gp.
Characters must track their wealth in gold, silver, copper and dollars separately.
In 1930, the following exchange rate is offered by the Mage Bank.
| gold:silver | 1:50 |
| gold:copper | 1:1200 |
| gold:US Dollar | 1:25 |
