Hello Dai, I do not know if you are familiar with ICE RPG products about Middle-Earth, but most of their campaign modules give detail of monetary systems in use in the region concerned, and tend to improve greatly on the 10 for 1 basic stuff (different weights and equivalences for diff races and places...) (Of course this is no ICE advocacy but they sometimes do interesting job too !) I guess you could though imagine this thing yourself. But I do not think much material can be found in Tolkien for such a purpose, though there definitely are some retail prices to be found in early chapters of LOTR, around the Shire and Bree, especially the Prancing Pony. I do not have the book here but I remember Gandalf handing a silver coin to Butterbur on behalf of the good news he learns there about the Hobbits and Aragorn (told at Elrond's ?). Hope this can help Frederic
