MoneyIndex Money in the Empire: "The Empire has two parallel systems of coinage, silver and jade. Jade is the higher denomination material, and is more widely used in the Empire, but silver, as you've noticed in your travels, no doubt, is more widely accepted in Gossamer Worlds. And aside from Talents, really only used in banking, there is really only one silver coin, the dinar. So a single dinar will easily get you that fruit, you'd get some scrip in exchange. I don't deal with scrip too much. An obol, that's the smallest jade coin, is worth just under 8 dinars. That meal in your restaurant" she continued. "would cost 2 dinars. Another 2 dinars and you'd have a night's stay at the Inn. 4 or 5 dinars, and that's groceries for a week for a family that likes to eat in and likes to eat decently. Meat and vegetables and rice, just not porridge. That set of boots you were after, we probably could get a good set for an obol and a half, depending on the haggling and the exact quality we are going for." "So" Xene said. "It's about 500 of your units or so to the dinar, about 4000 of your units to the Obol. Prices of things clearly vary between your world and mine." |
