   But you woul have to pay a fee up front for space in the   
   fairgrounds.  Up front.  You would need to get raw silver and get   
   somebody in the SCA to mint it for you with some Notfromhere   
   king's head on it.  The moneychangers would weigh it and give you   
   local currency in exchange for a fat fee.  Hmmmm, maybe it would   
   be easier to just bring the bulk silver and sell it to a silversmith.
