I didn't know anyone else here even knew about these books. Which one are you reading? I've read all of the Magician series and all of the "Krondor" series. I'm taking a mini break from them, though, but they're so good.

This is from "The Redemption of Althalus" by David and Leigh Eddings.

"Althalus rode some distance away from the road, and with Emmy's instruction, he converted five of his gold blocks into coins marked with the idealized picture of a stalk of wheat, which identified them as having come from Perquaine. Then he rode into the city, where he stopped by a clothier's shop and bought himself some moderately elegant garments to disguise his rustic origins. Emmy chose not to comment when he emerged from the shop."
