beccaelizabethToday I imagined coming back to Earth after Inevitable Excess and trying to take advantage of the gold to platinum exchange rate variance between here and Golarion.
Pretty swiftly it runs into the problem of how much gold you have by the end of the game. Turns out it's a sizeable fraction of the gold reserve of some entire nations. So now I'm wondering about trading volumes in a day and if you could crash the entire gold market on accident.
If you can turn all your gold into platinum on earth, send platinum to Golarion, and turn it back to gold there, at today's prices you would end up with very approximately 28 times as much gold.
Which is an advantageous exchange rate.
But you probably couldn't do it twice at that rate and I'm wondering about once.
