<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 1004838, member: 57463&quot;]At a Star Trek convention, I bought myself a Federation ID card that shows me as the purser on a Ferengi freighter.&nbsp; My line is that being a human, they figure that I am too stupid to cheat them, so they trust me more than they trust each other.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In the December 2008 Numismatist, the humor columnist wrote about non-existent coins -- &quot;Xeno-numismatics&quot; --&nbsp; but I considered that and for my November 2009 column, I wrote about the coins made by New Zealand, Isle of Man, and others for Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Narnia.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also found the Christies auction for Star Trek props and other sites selling Battlestar Galactica &quot;cubits&quot; both coins and notes (<a href="http://archive.battlestarprops.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://archive.battlestarprops.com/" rel="nofollow">http://archive.battlestarprops.com/</a>).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Top place went to <a href="http://www.truedungeon.com/true/dungeon.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.truedungeon.com/true/dungeon.html" rel="nofollow">TRUE DUNGEONS</a> a live action D&amp;D that uses coins for markers.&nbsp; They started with woods but found a casino chip maker who have them plastic over metal for a nicer product.&nbsp; I bought and traded for about 100.&nbsp; So, as in Dungeons and Dragons, I have different armors and weapons, potions and scrolls, magics and more.&nbsp; Usually, I play a human ranger -- good midrange character -- but for this, I went for Bard and got the magic ink, scroll of languages, potion of understanding, and such.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
