In RPGs it’s traditionally less valuable than gold, but historically this has varied. It’s a very soft metal, which makes it not very useful for making weapons out of. Despite this, it has a number of practical uses. Among these are that it has anti-microbial properties which has long given it a perception of being a holy substance, making it the bane of many monsters, and is why silverware and silver lined pitchers were things. It is useful in early mirrors, was a critical component of film photography, is still hard to beat for its passive anti-microbial uses, and continues to be used in some electronic applications.  In particular, silver is often used in high power radio and radar systems where its advantages over copper outweigh its cost. All in all, it’s way more useful than gold, with practical applications at multiple tech levels beyond just making currency and pretty objects.</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">In ancient Roman, Greek, and Phoenician history, the term "talent of silver" (about 26 kilos) comes up a lot.  A talent was a quantity of silver sufficient to field a warship for a month.  That's the maintenance, the provisioning, the wages for the rowers and fighters, etc.  One talent of silver, puts one ship in your fleet for a month's service.  So naturally this was a pretty important measure for planning and funding wars, as well as demanding tribute from defeated enemies.  </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>==Dungeons &amp; Dragons==</div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>==Dungeons &amp; Dragons==</div></td></tr> </table>
