Due to common preferences for valuable metals, most nations of the world have adopted the same system of currency, though some had to make adjustments to compete on the global market and economically survive. Over time, the conversion factors evolved to be the same across the board, and though coins will have different markings, they all tend to have approximately the same volume, weight, and complexity. The coversions go as follows:
-1Tin, the base currency, lowest level.
-1 Copper, equal to 50 Tin
-1 Silver, equal to 30 Copper
-1 Gold, equal to 10 Silver
-1 Platinum, equal to 5 Gold
While these metals are also used in jewelry and other commodities, those commodities are valued primarily on craftsmanship. The same necklace made of different materials would cost different amounts of money, assuredly, though the adjustment for cost based on material is linear in nature relative to the conversions above before accounting for difficulty of working the metal.
The prices of goods vary depending on location. Fresh fruits cost more in desert climates, and beef costs more in mountainous societies and cities. As with any economic system, supply and demand determine costs.
