I'm working with the PnP Coin system, and need a little guidence.
1.) What is an appropriate amount of each coin to drop at different CRs? (coins are Copper, Silver, Electrum, Gold, and Platinum).
2.) What is an appropriate amount to put in the chests (Poor, Low, Med, High, Ultra)?
Thanks,

I haven't used the system, but presumably the NWN(2) system is just a simplification of it, so 1 NWN2 gp = 1 PnP GP. Therefore just treat the others as decimal or multiple packets of GP.
In PnP there is a table for how much GP a character should have, but it's not 100% appropriate to NWN2 I don't think since A) NWN2 characters rarely need spend anything, not even on food and
NWN2 characters often have a LOT of GP tied up as overpowered magical loot, even if they're not using it.
A lot of it comes down to how stingy you want to be. Look at stuff like +1 weapons, which cost about 1.6k, IIRC. If you don't want your players to get these before L4, say, make sure that they are getting very little gold. If you're happy for them to have them at L1, though, they're going to be having a wealth of a good few 1000 GP within a level or two, which would suggest monsters are dropping on average maybe, what, a couple of dozen GP each? Bearing in mind that many enemies drop nothing.

What is the order of value for these coins?
- Copper (Least valuble)
- Silver
- Electrum
- Gold
- Platinum (Most valuble)
Is this correct?

Yes, that looks correct.
Copper = 1/100 of a gp
Silver = 10/100 of a gp
Electrum = 50/100 of a gp
Gold = 1 gp
Platinum = 5 gp
That's what I recall.

In PnP each coin type is one tenth of the one above it, in the order you stated but without electrum pieces.
D20 SRD - Coins.
However, the scripted system obviously uses a different exchange rate (obviously, because electrum coins exist - I guess the other rates could be the same, though, with ep just slotted in). I would have thought it would have been on the Vault page.
