Game currency
Remove the triple-currency game currency from the game; it's a nuisance.
1) I have 90 copper, a friend gave me 30 copper, why do I now have 1 silver and 20 copper?
If it's easier to say I already have 120 copper,
than to say 1 silver and 20 copper.
What's easier to write in chat about the price of an item?
23 gold, 75 silver, and 20 copper
or
237,520 copper (coins)
It's also easier to say the price of an item in chat as
(4k copper) or (2kk copper)
or
(4k coins) or (2kk coins)

23g, 75s, 20c is perfectly easy to write.
It is, but if I had to write it i would write it as 23.75.20
23.75.20
is
237,520 copper just as gold and silver in the bar.
Unless my brain is missing something.
Nope, you're not missing anything.
The game will be storing currency as a single value (237520 for the above) and displaying to players in game as copper, silver and gold values. When you select a silver, the game will be treating it as 100, and when you select a gold, it will be treating it as 10000. This is why you will never have a copper or silver value over 99.
It will not be all that long before copper and silver are mostly ignored by most players, which is where a system like comes in to its own - players can deal in single gold amounts instead of 10000 copper amounts.
In fact, rather than removing currencies, I can see an argument for adding more in the future - depending on how the games economy shakes out.
That would be what I would do.
