Soooo if we operate under the assumption that they circulated any form of currency... do we think that Utumno/Angband coins had Melkor's face on them, on account of him being the ruler orrrrrr...?

Is Utumno some sort of hippy utopia where you don't need money?#(obviously you don't need to tell me that it's more likely that no one had any money on account of most of them being thralls. I know.)#but the mental image of the Balrogs placing bets against each other #and someone keeps winning large stacks of coins with Melkor's very unimpressed face on them... is hilarious to me.#Also and more importantly did Mairon keep any amount of those coins past the war of wrath just so he could look at Melkor's face on em?#I mean that would explain what he did for the first 1000 yrs of the second age when no one heard anything from him.#He was having an “I'm disappointed” look staring contest with a few very tiny pieces of metal with Melkor's face on them lmfao.#shitpost
