Your nations form of money

Postby Pivovarsky » Thu Apr 01, 2010 12:18 am

What do you guys use as money?

Pivovarsky is all electronic. A citizen is issued about twenty cards which are wired to a mutual account. A citizen can obviously get replacements at his or her local bank or supermarket. All purchases are done through the card; no real money is involved.

Paper and coins are the basic form of money. However, due to the technological improvements on computers, the so-called electronic money is also another form which seems to gain ground day after day.

We use a silk/cotton blend for our paper bills, which come in the following denominations:

1ml
2ml
5ml
10ml
20ml
50ml
100ml
250ml
500ml
1000ml

There are no coin denominations. Most people have their money directly deposited to a bank account and they use their debit cards to pay for purchases, instead of cash. Credit cards are also in use but less popular; Maraqueans generally don't purchase anything on credit or with a loan, instead waiting until they can purchase it out right.

Of course money is used as a mean of exchange for goods and services, as well as repayment of debts.

The credit is now mostly electronic, but coins are still widely used, banknotes less so. Outside of cities there is mostly just bartering without the use of currency.

^ Similar to this it's just that we use the Credit. When some one is paid the money is wired to they're account.

Gold and Silver coins of the highest quality, a currency based on precious metals that has kept their value for over three thousand years and are accepted as valuables on virtually all planets. Small diamonds are also routinely used for barter.

Royalsoldiers uses normal paper money and a half dollar made of nickel. The Royish government has given banks permission to make a electronic card that contains a certain amount of money. Their cards may be renewed with more money when maxed out. The banks are now asking for the government to mass produce the cards. Their were no credit cards yet in Royalsoldiers but Loan Cards that banks loan to the person and the person must pay it back in 22 weeks or the person is imprisoned and work for week after week in hard labor getting a Royish Credit a day until they can pay it off.

Unlike most countries, we do not have electronic money. We use gold coins called midars. However, their value does not fluctuate like paper money, so we have a very stable economy.
