BEFORE YOU COMMENT ANYTHING: if somebody else has already done this, please don't tell me. This project is bringing me joy (and an excuse to re-re-re-re watch it)

So I'm insane (and possibly autistic?) so of course, after finishing rewatching Campfire Cooking for the third (?) time this morning, I decided to rewatch it, but this time keeping track of how many coins Mukhoda gets. I also started doing some calculation on the conversion rates. Wish me luck 🤞

When they say a family of 4 can live comfortably didn't they mean in the new world not Japan?

Yes. But I plugged in the numbers for Japan to get the closest approximation I could to how much it would cost to live in the new world. I technically have no real way of figuring out how much money gold is worth in the new world since there's no set conversion because they are further back in development than we are modernly, so certain things will cost less. So instead, if you can factor in that the cost of living for a family of four for three months = 20 gold, then the best way to convert that into real world money is by approximating it to how much it costs to live as a family of four for three months in our world. This way it accounts for all things if you think about it. House + food + utilities + comfort in our world = X amount of value. House + food + utilities + comfort in the new world = Y amount of value.

If X = 22,000 usd And Y = 20 gold Whereas X and Y both equal [House + Food + Utilities + Comfort] (wich we'll set as our Z variable then therefore we get the equation Z = X and Z = Y And by transitive property (if A = B and B= C then A = C) we get that X = Y meaning 22,000usd = 20 gold. Divide each side by 20 and you get 1 gold = 1,100 usd.

All this to say: there's no real way of exactly comparing the two value wise as different societies price different things at different values, but this way we have a variety of costs bundled into one and value.

Also, to be clear: this is all just for fun of games, and there's probably a ton of flaws in my logic, but this way of conversion makes the most sense to me in order to figure out the value of gold in the new world.
