I would think "converting" the dropped coins (pp to gp, gp to sp etc) for the purpose of split is kinda strange ;-p

Why not just have it as it was, and in group do FFA with /split on? worked on live well in most PUGs - though the looter did get a bit of an advantage when the coins didnt split evenly.

P.S: Does rogue pickpocket take from the mob's loot coin value, thereby reducing the dropped coins when mob dies? I remember huge heartburn threads on the old whineplay forums on this in 99...
In practice what happens is the casters are medding because they are a little LOM, then puller is out pulling, the rogue is trying to BW up and the bard or ranger is looting everything.

That's a generalization, but that's often what is happening with this new system. Not only do the greedheads get the items, but they also get a bulk of the cash. If the split was more even it would be less of an issue, instead of one more straw on the camels back.
