I'm just curious because NPCs will give you a few gold coins and act like its a lot of money. Enemies groups will rearly have over a gold coin between them.
So how long can a single person live off a single gold coin in Thedas?

 

[Huntress]

is alot of money!

There is silver coins aswell and let me tell you: not a single drink no matter how good tis, is worth a silver!! no way jose!

What is the Big Mac index of Thedas?

[brushyourteeth]

A drink at the Hanged Man is three coppers, if I'm remembering right. So a tankard of cheapest ale... kind of like a PBR? I'm not a beer drinker - how much are those going for nowadays? Like $1.50 to $2-ish? So if there's a hundred copper to a silver, and a hundred silver to a gold piece... yeah. That sounds like a lot of money.

And if you buy the best ale they have for everyone in Tapster's, it costs just over a silver. And Nadezda seems relatively happy about the five silver you get. And the elf in the alienage is ecstatic if you give him a sovereign, and the comment when you give him and Ollie 3 sovereigns is something like "I hope this gets you out of here". Considering how much weapons and armor -- especially good weapons and armour cost, it suddenly doesn't seem so strange any more that a Cousland would wear cheap rough leather. ...On the other hand, considering how easy it is to get coin and the Lyrium smuggle quest where a circle mage has 65 sovereigns...

[Wulfram]

Generally the impression I'd get is that 1 sovereign would be at least a few months wages for a fairly ordinary human, maybe a whole year. And a hell of a lot more than that for a City Elf or a Casteless Dwarf.

But I don't think Bioware have a clear idea themselves, and there are some numbers that are totally out of whack. And it's hard to have a coherent economy when you're sticking in the massive gear inflation that RPGs seem to find obligatory nowadays, anyway.

That mage would presumably be the equivalent of a higher-ranking drug lord, up at the level where they actually do have large amounts of money.,

There's no hard and fast rule for it, the value of a gold piece seems to change even within the confines of the game. It's as valuable as the story wants it to be.

But just for fun, a single gold piece in D&D 3.5 was about what your average farmer made in a month, so make of that what you will.

[brushyourteeth]

And if I'm remembering right, when you play as a dwarven noble there's a merchant who's selling high-end noble clothing at a market stall for 1G 25S a piece. You don't have that kind of money even if you take off and sell all your gear and all Gorim's gear - you have to be able to sell some kind of special DLC starting weapon or armor.

How much is a gold coin worth? 100 silvers or 10,000 coppers.

[dazman]

100 silver so 1000 coppers

Economy in DA world is simply broken

In Ostagar a backpack worth 50 silver, in other places worth 7 gold pieces

Now, now. These are SPECIAL backpacks that can hold hundreds thousands of items. (99 of an item x 120 slots)

Maybe they aren't charging enough for them... 

[Fallstar]

It's 100 silver or 10000 coppers to the sovereign.

Incredibly rare one of a kind items in DAO tended to go for sale at the 70-140 sovereign mark, and I'm guessing around 10 coppers would get you enough food to live on for a day. A couple of silvers a week seems like a reasonable amount for the average working bloke's wage.

The problem with using the amount of gold you get as loot as a marker is that it is level dependent; in the Origin story you get a few coppers per person, by the end of Awakening each darkspawn is dropping between 50 silvers and 5 sovereigns. 
That's some pretty serious inflation.

Simple.

Military weapons and equipment tend to cost a lot more then food, water and shelter.

About tree fitty.

[twincast]

Well, historically speaking a good rule of thumb is 1 gold = 12 silver and 1 silver = 20 copper, so 1 gold = 360 copper, but like most fantasy scenarios Thedas' coinage is obviously based on modern centesimal denominations (relying on paper and virtual money) and internally broken as it bows to the whims of game progression, so I guess the continent is filled to the brim with easily accessible not-so-rare ores.

Backpackers do it in Ostagar.

Err... excuse me but I always thought centesimal denominations means gold is very rare in Thedas. I mean I though the gold is so rare that what we buy for 12, they buy for 100.

Or they had a dramatic crash in the silver market, leading to its price and value plummeting, necessitating 100 to equal the value of one sovereign.
