Coin Abbreviations

[Collz]

I just started thinking to myself, why do we abbreviate Gold Coins as gp, but then abbreviate Crystal Coins as cc? Shouldn't it be abbreviated as gc? Yeah I'm bored, so what but post your thoughts!

Gold Pieces, derp! Yeah I've been wondering why too

I knew it was gold pieces but I just didn't understand why they abbreviated it as gp instead of gc

its not only on Tibia, Its also on runescape and a lot of multiplayer games and exploiters sellers xD

Platinum coins = pc?

Who has 1 spare pc?

I've never even heard platinum coins be abbreviated besides 'plats'. Our world is all twisted upside down

 

[Peroxides Cat]

My cousin used to say 10 plats = 10k.. I'd be like "Give me 5k." Then he'd give me 5 plats and go "YOU OWE ME THATS A LOT"

Such a retard.

in runescape its very confusing
1m = 1000k
10,000 = 10kk
i don't know how to explain how does it work

1m = 1000000
1m = 1000k or
100kk

 

[tosuxo]

1m = 1000000
1m = 1000k or
100kk

makes you wonder if some people went to school and paid attention during maths lol

100kk is 100 thousand thousands... which is 100,000,000 or 100m (100 * 1000 *1000)
1000k is 1000 thousand... that's 1m.

but at the end of the day, why not say "1m" instead of shit like "100kk"? it just makes no sense... guess that's what comes with games occupied by mainly 10 year olds lol

i think gp sounds much better then gc and gold pieces is much better then gold coins xD

 

[dusieqq]

Very Very old times, in tibia was gold pieces in place of gold coins, i think the main reason that it is still in use is habitation to it

k = kilo = x 1,000
eg.
1 kilogram = 1,000 grams = 1x 1,000 grams
10 kilograms = 10,000 grams = 10x 1,000 grams

1k = 1000 = 1x 1000
10k= 10,000 = 10x 1000
100k = 100,000 = 100x1000
1kk = 1,000,000 = 1x1000x1000
10kk = 10,000,000 = 10x1000x1000

<,< math lesson for you all
