Description Ever wonder how an economy could survive on gold? Why arethere no silver or copper coins? Why are their septims in Nordic and Dwemer ruins? This mod aims to fix those problems.
There are four versions of this mod! Coins of Tamriel, Coins of Tamriel V2, Coins of Tamriel V3 and Coins of Tamriel V4. Coins of Tamriel just adds in the copper, silver and gold septims. Coins of Tamriel V2 is the same as Coins of Tamriel but it also adds in the Nordic and Dwemer coins that can be sold to merchants. Coins of Tamriel V3 and V4 only adds in the Nordic and Dwemer coins. But Coins of Tamriel V3 has Copper, Silver and Gold versions of those coins, where as Coins of Tamriel V4 only has Gold versions.
What this mod does. (read before reading "how it works") In Versions 1 and 2 It replaces the default gold coin (gold001) with a copper one. And then adds in new silver and gold coins. But unlike other coin mods you don't sell my coins to gain their value. When you pick them up you will instantly gain their value, just like the default coin (Read how it works). I also made some dialogue changes. So now for instance when you go to buy a house instead of it saying (X amount gold) it will instead say (X amount septims). Versions 3 and 4 only have the Nordic and Dwemer coins.
How it works. The Silver and Gold Septims and run by a script (unless you are using the script free version). When you pick up a Silver or Gold Septim the script will run and delete the Silver and/or Gold coin and then add its value in Coppers to your inventory. The Reason behind this is because Skyrim was never intended to have more then one form of currency. So you are unable to add in coins that work the same way as the default gold coin. Thus I had to use a script to make it work the way I wanted it to. Basically just think of the Silver and Gold Septims as coin purses.
As for the Nordic and Dwemer coins. Those coins are clutter items and need to be sold to merchants in order to gain their value.
Script free version I've decided to make a script free version of this mod for those who don't like the idea of a script running when ever they pick up a silver or gold Septim. So now if you are using the script free version you must sell the silver and gold Septims to merchants, just like the Nordic and Dwemer coins, in order to gain their value.
