I know just using gold is easier. It makes the trade system simpler. It's how DOS2 worked. Hell, it's how the first two Baldur's Gate games worked. But in D&D, gold is not the only form of currency. There are multiple forms of money in D&D, and they may be trickier to implement but it really would make the game feel much closer to the actual P&P world. Peasants and commoners are much less likely to have gold on hand, and many things can be paid for with copper and silver.
So please consider adding other RAW forms of D&D currency. You can skip electrum though, because nobody uses that anyway.
