Our currency is the dollar ($).

Currency? Oh no, no, we got rid of that years and years ago. When was it darling? What year? 1266 or so? Yes, yes, sometime around then. Anyway, back then the predominant federation of unions voted on removing money altogether, replacing it entirely with government-issued script -- handed out to everyone's need, you see. And ever since then we've been sticking with it. I think the official name's something daft sounding, like: "Ethically Transmitted Hand-Out Script", but everyone just calls it "Ethos". Mm. A good system, but a touch bureaucratic at times.

The unit of currency in the Republic of Krytak is the KRYA. There are several denominations in circulation, in both coin and bill form.

The coins are minted in values of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 cents, and 1 Krya. The coins are different shapes, and colors as shown, to help quickly identify the value of the coin at a glance. The coins have the following layout:

1 cent and 5 cent coins, front and back:

10 cent, and 25 cent coins, front and back:
Image
Image
Image


50 cent coin front and back:
Image
Image


1 Krya coin front and back:
Image
Image


The larger unit of currency, the Krya, is made up of denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 Kryas. Each note has a different color than the others, and of a gradient shade, not solid, to make counterfeiting more difficult. Another detail is that the bills are not made of paper, but of a semi-transparent plastic which does not crumple, or tear, or wear out. Because it's transparent, there is only one side to the bill. Each bill has a watermark in the back of the image, with the words "The Republic of Krytak" repeating. There is also a holographic flag in the bottom center of the bill as another means to deter counterfeiting.

The crystae. Which doesn't exist in a physical form. Rather, all planetary currencies use it as a reference point and are pegged to it. Even though, again, it doesn't physical exist.
Clan Basitii uses Gevrins, which are worth roughly 2.2 crystae and are the most common actual physical currency.

The lira (symbol Д) divided into 100 senti (symbol Е). The notes are Д1,000, Д500, Д100, Д50, Д20, Д10, and Д5. The coins are Д2, Д1, 50E, 25E, 10E, 5E, and 1E.

The lira has been decimalized since 1919, prior to that, the lira was divided into 20 soldium, with 1 soldium equalling 1 denari (1 lira = 240 denari). The current exchange rate is one lira with two dollars.

The Len is the Currency of the White Sun Empire. When compared to the strongest economy on our world (the Californian Standard Dollar) the exchange rate of 1 CSD to 1 Len is 1.00 > 98.71668 Len. In short numbers and basic English, they're about even.

The "Vuzghul Korona" is the main currency because it is what is printed by the Great King, but certain other great families have the privilege of printing their own money, and precious metals are also sometimes still used both as objects of exchange and as a backing to some lesser currencies.

But the Vuzghul Korona is a true fiat currency, not backed by any metal, but purely by the power of the Great King.

The clam. Currently it's worth about $1.13 or so.

The term "clam" is actually a catch-all phrase for any brightly colored shell that we use as currency. Their actual value depends on how scarce a variety it is, and how large and pretty, and so on. They range from little shells you can hold fin-fulls of, to great big Giant Clams that are kind of like Yap "stone wheel" money--so large you can't carry them around, so you leave them parked in front of your house to show off your wealth to your neighbors.

There is no state enforced currency. All market is absolutely deregulated, ensuring infinite freedom to succeed or fail.

The most commonly used trade methods are MGRs, which are usually 7.62x39mm or 5.45x39mm rounds for a Kalashnikov, or strictly precious metals (privately printed gold/silver coins).

The Credit is the currency of Novus Niciae.

It is almost purely an electronic currency with only a few commemorative coins being issued each year.

Credits are commonly stored on the ubiquitous credit card which is a stored value card.

The individual credit is a complex unique algorithm that is nearly impossible to counterfeit owing to extremely stringent propriety security measures.

Some of the measures taken are that the central bank keeps careful records as to who has legitimate possession of each and every credit so duplicates in the possession of a third party are worthless and the police are instantly notified the second the criminal attempts to use the duplicate credit and introduces it to the system. And some of the most formidable ICE programs and devices in existence protect the central banking computer and the physical security of the computer is handled by the treasury division of the Praetorian guards making hacking the central banking computer a near impossible task even for the best nation backed hacking squads.
