The basic runes are definitely easy to come by. Almost all NPC's carry them, so they're no-doubt wide spread and easy to come by. Seeing that the 5th age is also basically the age of runes, there'd be a great deal of runestones in circulation. It's like the boom of iphones everywhere in the boring old real world.

Also, c'mon now, copper coins aren't a thing in Gielinor at all. Do role-players still use that??
