Currency comes in five different forms in Yveridia.
Pinches otherwise known by the metal it is made from Copper, which are the smallest currency in diameter but are the thickest. It takes 100 pinches to equal a bronze/chunk. So they're like pennies to a dollar.
Chunks otherwise known by the metal, Bronze this currency is the base currency. It has a value of 1. 10 Chunks (Bronze) make a Parcel (Silver).
Parcels otherwise known by the metal Silver is the next step and these have a value of 10 Chunks (bronze coins). It takes ten Parcels (silver coins) to make a Score (gold).
Scores otherwise known by the metal, Gold is the currency of the rich and what most life savings come in. 1 Score (Gold) is worth 100 Chunks (bronze coins), or 1000 Pinches (coppers). It takes 10 Scores to make a Myriad (Platinum).
Myriads otherwise known by the metal Platinum are worth 1000 Chunks (Bronze).
So
100 Pinches = 1 Chunk.
1000 Pinches = 1 Parcel
10000 Pinches = 1 Score
100000 Pinches = 1 Myriad
10 Chunks = 1 Parcel
100 Chunks = 1 Score
1000 Chunks = 1 Myriad
10 Parcels = 1 Score
100 Parcels = 1 Myriad
10 Scores = 1 Myriad
Foreign Currency of the same metals are worth 1/2 of Yveridia currency.
Unless your country establishes a Fair Trade Agreement it will remain such. If your country does then your foreign currency will be 1-1.
Use of foreign currency also makes it harder to get a good deal or even buy things in Yveridia. The local populace is distrustful of foreign money.
Banks, loan houses, and Darkness over Dawn all exchange currency.
