====== 🪙 Create: Numismatics Guide ======

**Create: Numismatics** is an expansion to the **Create mod** that adds a robust currency system to Minecraft. It allows players to mint, trade, and automate money as physical items.

On the **Shadows of Aethro** server, it enhances the economy by letting you build your own minting system, automate coin production, and even create your own shop systems.

===== 💬 FAQ =====

**Q: Can I convert coins back to ingots?**  
A: No. Coins are considered currency, not smeltable metal.

**Q: Can I make fake coins?**  
A: No — the system checks tags and recipes. Spoofing won’t work.

**Q: Can I sell things for coins in-game?**  
A: Yes! Ask staff how to set up trade stations or use coins in your own shops.
