Do any of the humanoids (i.e. kobolds, goblins, hobgoblins, orcs, bugbears, etc.) mint their own coins?

I'd think it possible for the orcs of Many-Arrows, in 4E, but that would be about it. Most humanoids just aren't organized into big enough -- or stable enough -- groups to need or organize a mint.

This may not be exactly what you were looking for, but Giantcraft mentions that the ancient giant kingdom of Ostoria minted giant gold coins that weighed 2 stone (or 28 pounds).

I could see on the off chance that kobolds might do it, as they have that sort of skill and access to materials.

Hobgoblins may spend coin but probably not make it.

Duregers proably do it.

Bugbears,goblins, and that rest of those folks, I do not see doing it.

Kao tau , were known for making pressed and shaped coral for coin.



The one thing that makes money, but you probably never thought of. Mimics
