Orders of magnitude

Very interesting to see these mentions of currency listed together because they actually seem inconsistent on the part of GRRM. If the Kingdom was 6 million in debt (a colossal sum) this doesn't equate with the Hand's Tourney having a prize purse of 90,000 all up. That's basically paying 1.5% of the national debt as a prize. Like someone in America being given about $50 billion to win a sports competition. Likewise the cost of the Lyseni pirate prince also seems way too high when measured against the national debt in total. --Crackclaw 21:09, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

I belive that why the Hand was so annoyed with it and everyone calling it the "Hand's Tourney". Also this tourney atracted a lot of people from across of westeros, so they probably didnt loose as much as it seems. --Mor 08:16, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
