One thing I wanted to ask about is units. Gold is generally counted in troy ounces or in grams, but both of these units seem a bit far from "real life." I think that a gram is worth about 10 dollars, so that means one US cent would be about 0.001 dollars, forcing you to use three digits.
1 cent US is closer to 0.0008 grams these days and its worth less and less gold each week! :-)
Wouldn't it be better to count in either decigrammes or even centigrammes? Has anybody ever thought about this?
Apart from http://thegoldcasino.com where you can place bets in both these units, I don't know of any other merchants who price their products in these units.
Perhaps we should create some gold price charts to display the value of these units so people become more familiar with them.
Regards,
Joel
