Default CO monetary amounts (there is NO GOLD in CO)

I was made privvy to this by a new friend online. Does anyone know where I can find any more information like this. All I can find on the 'fansites' is guides and stuff, no real data.
Monetary Values in CO
----------------------------
The base unit is a 'resource' also know a the Local ("L") coin (it has an L on the coin)
(you get these for almost any monster kill or action)

The next coinage up is the 'Nation' coin (it has a picture of a flag on the coin)
1 Nation Coin = 100 Local Coins (or resources)
10 Nation Coins = 1000 Local Coins
100 Nation Coins = 10000 Local Coins

The highest coinage is the 'Global' Coin (it has a 'G' on the coin)
1 Global Coin = 100 Nation Coins and 10,000 Local Coins
10 Global Coins = 1000 Nation Coins or 100,000 Local Coins

Cheers

Since the system is identical to the one used by World of Warcraft and Everquest, it is much easier to use the old fantasy-style denominations than wrap one's mind over the new concept of L, N and G resources.

It would help if the abbreviations matched, but they do not, although G still stands for both Gold and Global.

yeah gold silver copper is just a much easier system and it makes more sense. Local national and global makes little to no sense seeing as how you still spend them in the same area's. I would have rathered them just use one currency and just had you get large amounts of it but oh well. If gold silver copper aint broke dont fix it.

I was wondering, and asked in game without decent reply, what to call them. Thanks, now we need to circulate this post so all can use the same vernacular. If I yell out *global coin for something I'll probably hear crickets!

Any money chat I've seen in zone is gold/silver/copper, I just think its more intuitive and easy to grasp for most.

I don't think we would have slipped as easily into the standard gold/silver/copper thing if they had used different colors for the currencies like red, white, and blue or hell purple, red, and green or any other combo of colors for that matter. But they used Gold Silver and Copper so that's just the way it goes
