@DarthOrc - Technically, the loaf of bread doesn't cost a gold piece, it costs a "Septim", which most likely is a weak gold alloy, or maybe gold plated coin, considering how little you can buy with it. I do agree though that the relative costs of items (and relative weights of the lighter items also) are way out of whack with each other. For that matter, if you have a spell that turns iron into gold, why even risk your life adventuring?
