Transmute Copper to Gold

[Coridan]

Our group wants a spell that converts Copper pieces to Gold (100 pieces to 1). Coin is heavy. =p

[Luminiere Solas]

that doesn't sound too bad for a cantrip. converting 100 copper into one gold. i'd go a step further and make it a full on consolidation spell.

I'd make it a first level spell. Allow it to convert 100 copper or 10 silver pieces per caster level.

Remember, a cantrip can be cast over and over and over again. Without limits, an enterprising mage could make a copper shortage in no time...

I created the following a while back (and have posted it to the boards before):

Coin Money
School transmutation; Level cleric 0
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, DF
Range touch
Target pile of metal touched
Duration instantaneous

Converts up to ten pounds of nonmagical copper, silver, gold, or platinum into your choice of standard coins of the same value. For example, a pound of gold can be minted into 5,000 copper pieces, 500 silver pieces, 50 gold pieces, 5 platinum pieces, or a mix thereof. These reeded disks have imagery appropriate to the cleric's deity.

Obviously, there's no particular need to have it be a clerical spell instead of something else, and you can bump it to 1st level if you think it makes things too easy.

My group ignores coin weight. We also really don't want to bother with converting copper, silver, art pieces, and gems into gold. To help that we created what we call "The Bag of Bank" which holds all our coin and gems and gives us exactly the amount we need when we need it.

Yeah we tend to go with this as well.
