#somehow i think solomon is too traditionalist to run the celestial empire on a fiat currency

[tanadrin]

I think I remember reading somewhere that all the gold mined since the beginning of human civilization, if basically pure and gathered in one place, wouldn't fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool

(which is less surprising than it seems given that one of the properties that makes gold so desirable is that you can beat it incredibly thin to coat other stuff)

Which means that, given there is enough gold in the vault of Yre to literally cover the ground you walk on, and some portion of that huge reservoir is depicted spilling into the city when Nadia Om attacks it and the walls break open, means that the aftermath of Allison and Cio's heist must have absolutely wrecked the economy of Throne, and possibly of many of the worlds linked to it. Or maybe Mammon has his worlds on a fiat currency, and Yre's gold reserves function more like Fort Knox. But still. I feel like it should have caused Problems.
