Payments: paying land rent Timon paid using a small cloth bag. That was the polite noble way. You provided a way to move the payment. The nicer the material, the more important you were saying the whole thing was to you personally. A canvas sack was what you paid a workman with. A craftsman or musician you liked would have velvet and so on. To give a payment wrapped in silk was the highest compliment possible. (The dark half of the sun).
The rule in payments for anything over 10 gold is to slightly overpay. That way no one can claim mistake or fraud, and tends to assure everyone that dealing with you is a safe bet. It shows you aren't worried about every penny. Even if you are. Perception was important after all.
