The game's currency is measured in "☼", called "dwarfbucks" or "db's" by some players. Each item has a specific trade value in ☼.

When the dwarven economy sets in, some coins will have monetary value in addition to their trade value; copper coins are worth 1☼, silver coins are worth 5☼ and gold coins are worth 15☼.

Independent of this, the trade value of any coin is 1/50 of the metal value, when used in trade, or collectors coins sold in shops (not copper, silver or gold coins). Since you get 500 coins per bar of metal, this is equivalent to an item value of 10.

Using coins as a trade good is not advisable as they have no quality levels.

Dwarven coins are minted at the Metalsmith's forge.
