Currency

Money plays a significant role in this series (as well as in real life). In this fictional world currency takes the form of coins instead of paper money. There are copper, silver and gold coins. In this sett ing  there are many kingdoms that are spread across the land many of those kingdoms produce there own currency. The currency of the kingdoms are not exclusive to there respective kingdom but can be used anywhere.

Value:
The values of the coins are not set in stone, they are determined by the purity of the coins. In short the more silver in a silver coin the more valuable the coin. The purity of coins are consantly changing going up and down. The rise and decline of puritiy depends the particular kingdom a coin was minted from.



Here is an easy way to explain it: Kingdom A and Kingdom B both produce a silver coin containing 86 % silver, Now Kingdom A is suffering from financial issues and is forced to reduce their coins purity to 83%. Kingdom B's silver coin is now more valuable.

The purity of coins usually does not drastically change often but when they do it can make or break the coin's repution and trust among the people.

Rules:
When it comes to money there are a couple of "traditions" that pop up in the series. Theses are the known ones in the anime adapation.


 * 1) Bag_of_gold.jpg a person deals with wheat that person is able to receive payment in the form of any silver coin that he/she desires.
 * 2) When exchanging money through a money dealer the coins are packaged differently based upon material of the coin; ( gold gets a box, silver gets a bag, copper gets held in hand)
 * 3) If someone drops a coin during a money exchange the first one to grab it gets to keep it
