Money and wealth is always an issue in Post-apoc gaming. Mutants & Wizards uses precious metals with the expectation of bartering occurring where that's easier.
The base coin is copper instead of gold and there are 80 coins to the pound (about the weight of a USA nickle). Noye how the cp to sp ratio is 100 to 1. This is because finding pure copper isn't that hard: a single-family home uses about 200 pounds of copper just in wiring alone, and smashing pure copper into small coins isn't that hard to do.
