* CheapGoldCoins: {{Subverted}}. The Grangers know how much gold is worth, since they're dentists and work with the stuff. [[spoiler: It turns out that the pound to gold exchange rate was set in 1818, when five pounds sterling was worth five pounds of sterling silver. The Grangers immediately realize something is wrong and inform the Wizengamot. Economic upheavals ensue]].
-->'''Hermione Granger''': Galleons, sickles, knuts? Don't you use pounds?
-->'''Sirius Black''': Afraid not, the wizarding world operates on its own currency... There's the gold galleon, which is worth five pounds. There are seventeen silver sickles to the galleon and twenty-nine bronze knuts to the sickle. You'll get used to it...
-->'''Mr. Granger''': Sounds like the bad old days my Grandfather talked about with the whole... guinea, pound, crown, half-crown, shillings, sovereign, florin... Wait, how much gold is in a galleon?
-->'''Sirius Black''': About a third of an ounce I think... Or something like that, you'd have to ask the goblins.
