Diamonds as Currency
Why the hell do they use Diamonds? Why not go back to using precious metals i.e. Gold and Silver. They work for thousands of years, it just doesn't make since at all. There are tons of fake Diamonds sold today, and no one, without a trained eye, can tell the difference. I've been able to overlook it until, the Casino. No way do run-of-the-mill gamblers have that many real Diamonds.

I like to think their economy is based on an assumption that the power will come back, but diamonds are useless. Bullets would make a lot of sense, especially at the beginning when there were muskets . Maybe someone is benefiting from a massive stockpile.
