Beggar is not a word Kreyu knows, but she can glean some things from context. "Trade is how it works, trading what one has for what one desires. Coins are valued by their weight and their metal. There is generally some bickering over the price until an agreement is reached."

"Gold and silver are useful for trade because they keep and they are widely accepted, but one might trade anything anywhere, if you can find a buyer who wants what you have."
