Currency

[kalos72]

So I have been thinking bout the type of currency my players are trying to design and thought you guys might have some feedback.

In a T2K world, assuming the area has some central government/authority, how would you handle a currency?

You could just use food but thats a very primitive or starter currency I think. Krakow just uses paper notes that hold a certain value. But what if people started to forge those notes? Happens all the time in history...

Could mint metal coins or clay coins with your "seal" on them but the same thing could happen with forgeries.

How does your campaigns major settlement handle a currency?
