Well, not exactly counterfeiting. Modern money represents gold in each country's treasury. If someone makes a "counterfeit" bill, they claim more gold in that treasury than they truly have, i.e. stealing. Turning gold into gold would just be changing an objects shape, and making it into a workable form.
I don't know about other countries, but America was off the gold standard a while ago and now runs on fiat money (not backed by precious metals).

Ish because we're in debt. :L
And the alchemy thing kinda proves how they got gold coins in the first place... Why can't we do that yet? :mad:

You mean simple minded things that collect shiny things from any explorer that it happens to kill? Or dragons and other fiends that are known to be greedy and hoard gold? Beats me.
Monsters need gold to buy things too.

I thought slimes only knew magic skills like blaze. Wouldn't they burn the lollipop with their magic?

I thought it was Frizz or something. Anyways, they tell the shopkeeper to throw it on top of their heads, and it sinks in it's body and they ingest it from there.

In Mabinogi, gold is cheaper than silver.
Why don't we use silver coins instead?

I guess it's because almost every other RPG uses gold as its currency, so I suppose Mabinogi gave in to peer pressure.

They called Maplestory coins "mesos." I sugguest we call Mabinogi coins "Masos."
