Does money have weight?

Yeah, 10000 sid in a bag was a significantly heavy amount I recall.
I have learned that one can, in fact, typo to death.

Solution: Half-giant.

As long as it doesn't take more than three bags  :D

Vennant doesn't appear to age because he serves drinks at the speed of light. Now you know why there's no delay on the buy code in the Gaj.

... Solution: Half Giant('s)? But yeah, obsidian is a glassy stone. Think of it like this...

How much would 10,000 pennies weigh?

A lot of fucking weight for one person to carry, that's how much. How much would 10,000 obsidian coins weigh? Yep, there ya go.

I could give a shit about wholesome.

The game is very light on PCs as far as coin weight and size goes. I mean... I've never tried to store four hundred coins in a single pouch on a belt in real life, but it seems to work in Arm.

Somewhere between 25 and 31 kg, depending on the date of the pennies.

I don't know.  In a place without banks or not knowing a "banker" it didn't seem to take many smalls to weigh my lightweights down or fill my pack. Maybe I take  * stat*  too  seriously.

"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

Your lightweight was probably just...really lightweight. I've had that. :p

I don't always act superior... but when I do it's on the forums of a text-based game

Yeahhh.. I've stolen.. I mean.. I've carried 10,000 + coins across town before and had to rest several times on the way to the bank. It's a tough ol' game but I think the money/weight situation is working just fine.
