Stuff happened on the Discord and now I feel compelled to write down something that's been fermenting in my mind for several years.

Currency Known denominations Value Rationale Notes/Problems
Dollar 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, potentially higher Base currency for convenience purposes.
Tap (Smash G) 1, 3, 5, 6, 10 $0.01 Would make SSB4 trophies worth $3-$25. Max money in SSBM would be a penny short of $10, while for Brawl it'd be one short of $100. Master Orders cost from $0.50-$10. Crazy Passes would be worth $50. Max time in Trophy Rush would be $20. Intensity 9.0 costs $22.
Mushroom Coin 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 $1 Feels fair for most of the item prices in the Paper Mario games. Would make 2D 1-Ups worth $100 and 3D 1-Ups worth $50. Power Stars are worth $100 while Party Stars are worth $20. Lategame RPG gear is a bit ridiculous (but can that be helped?).
Haunted G 1, 5, 20, 5k, 20k, 50k, 100k, 500k, 800k, 1m, 2m, 20m ??? Inconsistent between haunted mansions. Wouldn't be surprised to find out it's like leprechaun gold (disappears in the morning without a trace).
Beanbean Coin 1 ??? The rate is claimed to be 10:1 at one point but 1,010,101,010,101:1 at another point (that's a trillion). Given the characters involved, legitimacy of these claims is questionable, and the bros probably got conned.
Rupee 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 300, -10, -50 $1 Feels fair for many item prices. $80 for a Hylian Shield seems pretty cheap. Rito postage is $5 at minimum. Tingle demands almost $400 per Triforce Chart.
