## Trade Bar
_Source: Dungeon Master's Guide (2024) p. 213_
Because large numbers of coins can be difficult to transport and account for, many merchants prefer to use trade bars—ingots of precious metals and alloys (usually silver). These bars are valued by weight.
## Trade Good
_Source: Dungeon Master's Guide (2024) p. 213_
Merchants commonly exchange trade goods without using currency.
## Treasure (Art Object)
_Source: Dungeon Master's Guide (2024) p. 215_
Idols cast of solid gold, necklaces studded with precious stones, paintings of ancient kings, bejeweled dishes—art objects include all these and more.
## Treasure (Coinage)
_Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 213. Available in the Free Rules (2024)_
Characters often find coins on their adventures and can spend those coins in shops, inns, and other businesses. Coins come in different denominations based on the relative worth of their material. The Coin Values table lists coins and how much they're worth relative to the Gold Piece, which is the game's main coin. For example, 100 Copper Pieces are worth 1 Gold Piece.
A coin weighs about a third of an ounce, so fifty coins weigh a pound.
## Treasure (Gemstone)
_Source: Dungeon Master's Guide (2024) p. 214_
Gemstones are small, lightweight, and easily secured compared to their same value in coins.

**Speed.** A ship sailing against a strong wind moves at half speed. In a dead calm (no wind), waterborne ships can't move under sail and must be rowed. Keelboats and Rowboats are used on lakes and rivers. If going downstream, add the speed of the current (typically 3 miles per hour) to the speed of the vehicle. These vehicles can't be rowed against any significant current, but they can be pulled upstream by draft animals on the shores. A Rowboat can be carried and weighs 100 pounds.
**Crew.** A ship larger than a Keelboat or Rowboat needs a crew of skilled hirelings (see ""Services"") to function. The minimum number of skilled hirelings needed to crew a ship depends on the type of ship.
**Passengers.** The number of Small and Medium passengers the ship can accommodate using hammocks. A ship outfitted with private accommodations can carry one-fifth as many passengers. A passenger usually pays 5 SP per day for a hammock, but prices can vary from ship to ship. A small private cabin usually costs 2 GP per day.
**Damage Threshold.** See the [Damage Threshold](damage-threshold-xphb.md).
**Ship Repair.** Repairs to a damaged ship can be made while the vessel is berthed. Repairing 1 [Hit Points](hit-points-xphb.md) of damage requires 1 day and costs 20 GP for materials and labor. If the repairs are made in a location where supplies and skilled labor are abundant, such as a city shipyard, the repair time and cost are halved.
