take the value of 1 plat
make that the value of 1 gold
make plat worth the current dif of gold/plat.
since it is a straight value shift, it should be able to be done mathmatically on player inventories and buried money, etc, or even the item now named 'plat' could be renamed 'gold' and a new item worth x more than the current plat would be the new plat, and everyone would wake up with gold instead of plat, etc.
Anyway, plat is supposed to be valueable I think, and gold the standard dollar currency, but inflation changed that.
can that be done with a search/replace sweep in the stores (to change value of items from plat to gold) and a sweep on inventory/stored items for plat to gold?
maybe it would be too much work...
But, it would mean we could stop dragging our money around in wheel barrrels.
If not that, maybe banknotes?
That could be traded to a storekeeper for x plat, you buy one in a bank, and sell it to a store keeper without loosing 1/2 the value.
