    I would imagine you could have multiple currency values such as nickels,
    dimes, quarters so that 5 nickels would be equivalent to 1 quarter and
    so on. The code could handle auto converting to the least amount of
    coinage. So you would not have to carry around 100 gold pieces (or 100
    objects) but say 5 platinum (5 objects). If the exchange wasn't exact
    then you would have 4 plat is 17 gold, but still less then the 100
    objects. It would get around from having stackable objects.
