<p>[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 2545395, member: 51347"]I am not a schoolar, rather more of a pragmatist: IF I were running the show, and saw that the general population would ACCEPT token / Fiat currencies, then for given areas of conflict or accepting populations, I would use less costly, less risk token / fiat currencies. Cheaper for the Treasury to not HAVE to send silver/gold to a territory; and the population is still going on their merry way transacting trade and creating wealth. As to MORE Limes than Rare official issues... well, I would mint an "official run" of coins and inject that into the population. That becomes the "template" for coinage, then mint token / fiat coinage to support the local economies... I see one of the key 30,000 ft viewpoints is to create WEALTH and TRADE within the Empire. Token/Fiat currency is a cost savings method of facilitating that, especially in accepting populations or hostile territories. Just some thoughts...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
