Let’s Make Better Rpg Currencies

I’m curious what currency systems my fellow #ttrpg GMs have dreamt up when #worldbuilding.
It’s always annoyed me how #dnd’s gp/sp/cp currency resembles the USD system so much in the way it is used, despite the fact that IRL a single gold coin would be worth more than my car. Does #WotC think my backpack is worth $8k? That makes no sense to me.
@Shkshkshk @malin @rpg the PHB does pretty much say that coins are rarely used day to day, and most trading is done by barter or other exchange. True, adventurers are some of the people most likely to use coins, but maybe those gold coins aren’t all literal gold coins
