If we could exchange X currency for Y or Z currency why would still solely with Bastok? I doubt the Bastok we were used to will be the same Bastok in Dyna 2.0 I may be wrong but I don't see it dropping crap tons of bills the way it does now after the update.
This way, we could farm a zone for the gear we want and just exchange the currency we did get for what we wanted. Heck, I wouldn't even be opposed to having to go back to the [S] area in order to make the exchange since that's when each nation had it's own currency.
I wouldn't consider them to be worth what they cost even if they were buffed. If you're doing a relic (and succeed), money is usually no object. It doesn't mean that the item's true value is in line with the expense and effort put in.Leave the gil value of relics alone and boost them so they are worth what they cost.
OP: Not a bad idea. Frankly, I think what would end up happening is the currency would just rise to the value of the most expensive one currently.

That's why I said -10.
If the 3 coins are going to be interchangable, then what's the point of having 3 types? That's like getting hikazu hara-ate and being able to trade it for Deimos's Cuirass when upgrading salvage gear.
The only diff between that and the OP is that with the OP's idea, you wouldn't have to take the extra time to go talk to the goblin to trade currencies.
The actual effect it'd have on the game, however, would be the same as if you just made all 3 currencies into one.
But that completely takes out the story of the game. Each city had their own currency. Why take out content that has been in the game for 8+ years? At least if you were able to exchange one currency for another type, you keep all the current relic paths the same, and any storyline content the same. Plus its less programming on SE side.
Taking time to go back to the Goblin to exchange? Really that's what 5 minutes? Is it any better then bazaaring all night in hopes it sold over night just to buy or even try to find the currency your looking for at a good price? This will at least force an even price for all currency.

You're missing the point. It's the same idea with a different coat of paint. That request is basically asking for the exact same thing as the OPs is. They'd have the same effect on currency, such as prices equaling out between the 3, etc.
Your salvage reference doesn't make much since to me because in your example you are changing a path of gear that you had already started on. That would be like asking to trade in your Iga Tekko +2 for Bale Gauntlets +2.
In the instance I quoted it would only provide a way to exchange currency, not a set path that you have already undertaken. When have the NPC in Nashmu that acts like a ISP currency exchange, why not extent that service to other NPC offering other currency exchange. Like I said, even if I have to go back in time to the [S]-Shadow-reign to find a banker that would exchange X,Y,Z currency then I would put in the foot work.
Asking for a NPC to exchange X,Y,Z currency is no different then the people asking for an NPC to exchange Job: slot seals.
I think the only people that would have a reason to be opposed to streamlining currency are the people that only do dynamis to sell currency. "Oh no, now all currency has equal value!!"
