Dust & Destiny — the Dollar
Ballpark figures from the frontier catalog. The GM still haggles. Medieval coin: Fantasy sample prices.
The coin
The genre's money template is the Dollar — everyday cash on the frontier. There are no coppers or platinum pieces on this sheet. Catalog values below are in dollars (fractions are cents).

Numbers are the catalog value field. A known face, a drought, or a railroad markup will move them. Meals and beds are the GM's call — they are not priced in the genre catalog.
Using the list at character creation
Same two questions as Fantasy: can I afford it? and does it match my story? Starting kit. There is no armour catalog; clothes are clothes.
