I like to stick to copper, silver, and gold piece coins. No need to add a more realistic economic system.
Also, I'd rather have all prices given in silver or copper coins instead of gold. Makes gold seem more valuable. No need to convert prices -- just redefine the old gold as the new silver and go from there.
