Patrick had already stipulated that Quel'Thalas would accept only the newly introduced Magic Coins in trade, so the Goblin merchants had no choice but to sell large quantities of goods to Quel'Thalas to build up foreign exchange reserves of Magic Coins in order to conduct their various businesses with it.
As more and more people sought to buy Magic Coins, the number of merchants supplying Quel'Thalas also rose sharply. This allowed Quel'Thalas to purchase those raw materials at lower prices.
Were the prices too low for you to sell? That was fine; you simply would not be able to buy the various high-end products made in Quel'Thalas. As Regent, Patrick had issued an absolute order on this point: all transactions in Quel'Thalas were to use Magic Coins. If you still refused to accept that and wanted to buy them secondhand on the black market, that was possible too. As long as you did not mind the exorbitant prices, go ahead and buy them.
For Quel'Thalas, even gold and silver ore had now become ordinary minerals, rather than something to purchase in bulk to mint gold coins. Patrick wanted to rely on Quel'Thalas's outstanding Enchanting craftsmanship to add value to the Magic Coins. After all, the embossed runes, the patterns outlined in fine threads, and the perfect compatibility of the materials could not be achieved without thousands of years of accumulated magical knowledge.
Even if someone managed to counterfeit them, what did it matter? Patrick had calculated that the cost of producing these coins was already as low as possible. If others counterfeited them without the necessary technical expertise, their costs would rise severalfold. Arcanite bars, adamantite plating, alloy materials... none of these things were cheap. Others were welcome to imitate them.
Jaina looked at the coin floating in her hand.
