Currencies
There are 37 currencies officially sanctioned by The Continental Council.
The currency used by Patrus, as well as the bank of Patrus, is known as The Common Currency.
The base unit was defined as the cost of an average loaf of ordinary bread in 3137.
Obviously, the cost of bread can change depending on where you buy it and who made it, but this was seen as the average cost of bread during the time.
This base unit is known as Silica, and the coins are made of iron. Nowadays, you’ll need eight Silicas if you want to buy a plain loaf of wheat bread at most markets.
Worth one twelfth of a Silica is a Copper Piece, and half of a Copper Piece is the Cent.
Twelve Silicas is equivalent to one silver piece, and four silver pieces are worth one gold piece.
So, it goes: Two Cents are worth one Copper Piece, and twelve Copper Pieces are worth one Silica. Twelve Silicas are worth one Silver Piece, and four Silver Pieces are worth one Gold Piece.
The currency used by Pleyamni is known as The Sky Currency.
The base unit was defined as the cost of an average loaf of ordinary bread in 3208.

The base unit is known as a Canary, and the coins are made of iron. Nowadays, you’ll need seven and a half Canaries if you want to buy a plain loaf of wheat bread at most markets.
Worth one twelfth of a Canary is a Dove, and half of a Dove is a cent.
Twelve Canaries is equivalent to one Eagle, and four Eagles are worth one Phoenix.
So, it goes: Two Cents are worth one Dove, and twelve Doves are worth one Canary. Twelve Canaries are worth one Eagle, and four Eagles are worth one Phoenix.
One of the most commonly exchanged currencies is the kind used in Diqui.
Diqui makes use of both paper money and coins. Paper money is referred to as Petals.
A single Petal is worth about twice that of a Silica.
Coin money is referred to as Tokens, with their being four kinds.
A black token is worth a twentieth of a Petal, a red token is worth a tenth, a red token is worth a fifth, and a copper token is worth half of a Petal.
