Custom Currency

The homebrew world I have created uses a series of gems for currency, kind of like rupees from the Zelda series. They're an important part of the world for both flavor and lore reasons, and their exchange rate is awkward to put into the current system. 

I'd love to see custom currency, if nothing else just the ability to rename the coins and change their exchange rates, but ideally also the ability to upload custom artwork for each "coin" and maybe change the number of coin-types displayed.

  Fully agree. Perhaps an optional currency section in the inventory would complement this feature.

  I agree this is needed.  My world the black market has its own currency but i just use it as electrum right now. I would prefer it to be something different and tracked differently.

  I would love this to be implemented. In the homebrew I'm working on right now, I've rebalanced everything around silver and made gold and platinum very rare, so 1 gp = 50 sp instead of 10. I would love to be able to change the exchange rate in DDB so that could track accurately.

  Yes! I've been playing a Waterdeep campaign for a couple years and I track my character's currency in a spreadsheet rather than on DDB, because we have a mix of Waterdeep currency (dragons, shards, nibs) and default Forgotten Reals currency (gold, silver, copper), which have different values in and out of the city. I'm surprised that they haven't talked about implementing this at all, given that it's a mechanic directly from one of the adventures.
