If the chain comes from a smith specializing in the minting of currency, the ring will have the mark of the smithy on it. As there are very few smithies that are minters, seeing such a mark is not common and is looked upon as a guarantee of the value of the currency. As a chain is used up it often will be placed in the person’s pouch along with any change received.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My question is; how would a currency exchange work?
