What a great ruse to make money.

 

[Talismaster]

Umm... Even if the coins were real, that's just inflation, ain't it? The actual value of the coins, or the metal making up the coins, needs to be higher quality, iirc.

I swear to God of this is an uplifting story followed by a depressing one in till the end I'm going to have to start drinking.

@Talismaster The coins should per definition not be possible to be counterfeit. If the country is backing the coinage, then the coins are legit. However, if the king decides to proclaim that the money minted on the order of the aide is counterfeit, they will become as such as the backing for the coinage is retracted. As for why I mentioned you? Because what you said is exactly right. What happened is just inflation, and any mention of counterfeiting in the manga is just irrelevant to their value.

Feels like the way the manga (mis-)used "counterfeit" is to describe coins that had lower percentage of precious metals in them. Countries do that at times, and back when the amount of gold and silver mattered, this is essentially what showed the economical situation of the country. If a country had coinage with more gold in it, it was more *likely* to have a stronger economy (this is running on the assumption that the prices of the commodities still costed the same number/weight of coins, and they didnt just artificially deflate the economy by minting fewer coins. Essentially the actual indicator is that the country owns more gold in active circulation than others, so gold is worth less within their borders). Iirc there was an example in Spice and Wolf of a country devaluing their coinage (and trying to be sneaky about it), and similar things pop up as by-the-by's in other novels all the time.

[Hikarie]

"Liars are people who maintain calm expression at all time" did she just said that so that the king won't doubt her as a scam fortune teller and don't take back her gold coins because she was nervous when she first met the king?
