Currany and Prices ideas

We need a standardization of the cost of resources. I'll post my ideas of what i believe to be fair, leave some input to we can get prices down. sorry if this gets too complicated or disorganized.

TL:DR at bottom

Lets start with with mine-able bricks:
1 stack (64) of coal should be equal trade for 1 block (9) of iron - pre-smelted and crafted. so that'd work out to ~7 coal per iron ingot.

following suit, one stack of iron would be equal to 1 block of diamond, but that sound too wrong now the /kit is removed, so i think 14 blocks(just under 2 stacks) iron should equal 1 block of diamond

next, i think 3 stacks of cobble should be equal to 1 block of steel

4 stacks of dirt equal to 1 block of steel

Now onto farm-able - or renewable- resources:

1.5 stacks of Wood(logs) should equal 1 block of steel

6 stacks of reed to 1 block of steel

3 stacks of wheat to 1 block of steel

Finally our base currency:
2 ingot of Gold to a block of steel

and 4 Gold ingots to a pumpkin

TL:DR
ratios summary

Pumpkins:Gold(ingot):Diamonds(single):Iron(ingot):Coal(single):Log(single):Cobble/Wheat(single):Reed(single)
1:4:7:18:126:192:384:768
remember these are all relative to a pumpkin

anything crafted/cooked eg. smoothstone, jukebox, fences etc. are 1.25x with exception of bookshelf which is 1.5x

anything spawned by an admin is 2x !MUST NOT BENEFIT MOD/ADMIN! straight into bank vault.
3 gold ingots for stack glow-stone
2 fold ingots for everything else unobtainable
NO TNT

E:something seems wrong with the price of gold to iron, give your suggestions.

Iron is crap for currency.....
4 Reasons why:
#1 Waayyy to easy to get
#2 Gold is better and a lot more rare
#3 Gold has no uses other than watches.
#4 People will treat gold as a crap currency

Maybe we could use Gold and Iron together, but in my opinion
we should use gold as a primary currency.

Your missing the point, i summed it up in ratios, that means anything can be the currency. In the post i just refereed everything to the 'price' of iron but its not necessarily the currency. That's the beauty of ratios. The values used was based on both rarity and usefulness.
