Pacts or treaties could be made between tribes, allowing others to join, leave, or get kicked, which would decide on a rate for the currency agreed on by tribes. For example i set a copper coin at a value of one for my tribe and other tribes can either make the same coin or mint square silver blocks for the same value(exchange rates) while another tribe uses leather craps instead. when a tribe starts over doing it with production of their currency and inflate the market terms of the treaty will make them get kicked out and declared war on or whatever.
this would create a dynamic and realistic currency system which could also create some interesting effects, wars and what not.
Now mints would be buildings that tribes could build and destroy. They would require the minting skill, resources to mint coins of whatever design and material, and the plates to make a specific coin. tribes can only have one mint and 2 plates for every type of coin, one plate would always need to be in the mint to be able to make that coin and one could be stored somewhere in case the mint is ever destroyed or even raided, copies of plates could be made and traded to other tribes. evil tribes could attack good tribes raid their mints and steal their plates causing all sorts of havoc.
hope i explained this well enough.
