Inflation isn't a problem for Orks not just because of the MANY reasons Arch has wonderfully described, but teef, by their nature, decay over time Ergo, any teef that are old, or unfit to be currency, are flushed out of the system via the nature of the system itself, constantly relying on newer teef to be grown from new boyz, ensuring the Orks are always fighting, and that any git that has too much teef will have to use it or they will decay (or take the more likely option and have some nob steal them for himself) Orks have a more stable economy than humans in 40k

[@danieljacob9717]

About the interest in gold, I imagine it kind of similar to how we see gold plating for guns even though there is no real good reason you should be putting it on in the first place. It’s probably just to give the Bad Moonz something else to lord over every other ork. Like I am so much stronger and better than you I can afford to coat and use such a soft metal on my armor and weapons. Plus imagine an ork with gold plating and accents on his gear making them visually hard to ignore.

Me being an Ork player in early 3E kept one of my Dark Heresy characters's team alive when they'd otherwise not be so lucky.

I having played orks bought knowledge about orks as a skill so I wouldn't have to pretend like Im not a huge ork fanboy if it ever came up I asked if I noticed the klan iconography and I was tol Bad Moonz and I had an idea. He then had my other character (there was 3 of us each playing 2) just yank is six gold molars out and bought the whoile groups freedom. 1 gold tooth per person.

The other side of the Teef economy is that they are (as with human currencies) units of FORCE. You want Teef? You got to either pull your own out or bash em out of the mouth of someone. By accumulating Teef you accumulate items that are an accumulation of stored violence, which can then be traded for Dakka. As Arch says, the currency expands naturally as the Ork population expands meaning they are never short of currency which can happen in precious metal currency economies. A video about the Imperial economy and the issuance and circulation of Thrones would be interesting - is there an Imperial Central Bank??
