I figured out how all these different races and cultures could possibly agree on currency.

And yes I'm going to say this means Quel'thalas/Silvermoon still kinda uses "Alliance" coins and it annoys them every day but no one's bothered to take them out of the system yet. You'll see well-traveled Horde citizens handing over old coins with Terenas Menethil's face on them to merchants in Orgrimmar and that's just how it is, because they go off weight and not the coin itself.

#au lore #at this fuckin rate i'm gonna end up taking an economics class ''for research''#and yeah by extension the standardized coins are by weight too. they're each a certain size and thus a certain weight #but you know what I mean #I had an epiphany while writing this btw. gold is more valuable because it weighs more.#that's literally it 😭#maybe it's also harder to come by idk
