There have been times (under the warlords, in particular) when Waterdhavian coins were debased to as low as 60 percent purity, but from Piergeiron becoming Open Lord to “now” (1501 DR), all Waterdhavian coins are minted at over 90 percent pure (usually 95 percent). #realmslore

Do they use magic to refine those coins or is it pure technique?
