Money in the disc is manifested as coins that are carried about. All coin types from a region form a currency.

There are several types of currency that can be found on the Disc. They are:

Several other types of currency are coded and can be simulated using the rate command, but coins for them have not yet been found in game. (If you found any please update this!)

  • Chee Smee Blee money.
  • Howondaland money.
  • Zchlotia money.

Finally, there is a currency which used to be in game but should not be anymore:

  • Provincial, which should no longer be in use, since it has been replaced with the other currencies.

In-game, you can use the "rate" command or the "convert" command to see how much a certain amount is worth in another type of currency.

rate <money> {in|from} <place> {to|in} <place>
rate <money> {to|in} <place>
convert money <money> {in|from} <place> {to|in} <place>
convert money <money> {to|in} <place>

For example:

>rate LSov 2|8|-|1/4 to am
LSov 2|8|-|1/4 is worth A$138.24.
>rate 27 Lancre crowns, 56 Lancre shillings, 4 Lancre sixpences, 4 Lancre thruppences, 4 Lancre tuppences, one Lancre penny, 5 Lancre ha'pennies and 3 Lancre farthings to am
LSov 2|7|11|8 3/4 is worth A$138.14.

You can use a money changer to actually change one type of currency to another, or use banks that have branches in different areas.
