it would have been nice to have diferent kinds of coins, but it would have been much nicer for bethesda to took the time a just name the coins gold coins, gold pieces, or something instead of septims.

so you have killed a bandit and oh look a gold piece in his pocket, and next you delve into an ancient ruin and found a different looking gold piece, it doesn't need to have a different value, just a different texture, so you can find septims in the "modern world" and old coins in the dungeons and stuff.
