Pain.
Post later. Maybe.

accalia

Pain, pain, go away, come again another ***NEVER!***s

yamikuronue

I'm going to be editing every post in which Erika puts actual numbers to her money woes once https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/1727">@cloak15 posts the bit we've been working on about currency.  90% of Erika's day-to-day life involves sub-crown coins XD

Hammer Sister

Two crowns for an OJ though? Well, captive audience and all that I guess https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f606.png?v=735rlqkeesl" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes" title=":laughing:" />

OK SO!
I've gotta go adjust the earlier prices, but here's what we've come up with offline:

COINAGE


12 pence (p) = 1 scale (s)
12 scales = 1 Crown (♛ or C)
Coins:
   - Crown
   - Half-crown
   - Quarter (3 scales)
   - Scale
   - sixpence (6 pence, half a scale)
   - tuppence (2 pence)
   - penny (1 pence)
Bills:
   - 5♛
   - 10♛
   - 20♛

CHEAT SHEET


Accounting for inflation and exchange rate:
1 Crown ~= $30 USD
1 scale ~= $2.50 USD
1 pence ~= 20 cents USD

PRICES OF THINGS


=Countryside=
Apple: 2p

And then the murders began.

yamikuronue

Yeah, we're adjusting prices in the thread now, he was originally thinking a crown was more like a buck. Case in point, as it stands now, Erika was docked her entire paycheck >.>
ETA: I've done Erika's posts, except where she parrots back a number from one of the DM posts

Hammer Sister

Just watched https://what.thedailywtf.com/uid/1727">@cloak15 update the OJ price to a few scales; $7.50 is still pretty pricey! But a lot closer to reality https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f604.png?v=735rlqkeesl" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes" title=":smile:" />
And then the murders began.

yamikuronue

Yeah, we're going for amusement-park pricey, not "gold-plated" pricy XD

Hammer Sister

...so... who's turn is it?
And then the murders began.

CalamityJade

Either of yours, really. Whoever wants to talk about the bazaar first....actually, how does Rob keep his coinage

Hammer Sister

IRL, I have a wallet for notes, and put coins in my back pocket; that arrangement should work well enough for Rob too

Why does the Wikipedia article for dunk tank have eight images? https://what.thedailywtf.com/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f606.png?v=735rlqkeesl" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes" title=":laughing:" />
