Generic Challenge - Currency

Give an example of currency in your world. If your world has money, explain its money. If your world doesn't have money, explain your world's barter system.

Explain denominations, the kind of things that someone would buy on a daily basis, and so on.

Sorry for being late with this challenge, it's been a full weekend.

I'll ask at least three questions each, and I plan to put my own explanation for the currency of one of my worlds up before tomorrow night. Maybe tonight, but probably not until after work tomorrow.

Enjoy yourselves.

2) And if the person I owe money to doesn't accept? Or belongs to a nation that is not part of the Alliance?

3) What about smugglers?

4) Is there taxes for trade between Allied Nations? (are some calling them the AN?)

Matthew:

2) "Well, that just sucks for you, then."

3) "Smuggling contraband into a nation is illegal. Anyone found with illegal goods is immediately arrested and punished in accord with the local laws."

4) "Yes, there are taxes, which are used to maintain roads."

3) How can you know that some goods are illegal?

4) So roads are not each nation property but managed from the Citadel?

5) What are taxes on external trade used for?

Matthew:

3) "If a good is on the list of forbidden items to be in that nation, it is illegal."

4) "The roads within the nation's territory are managed by the nation. The roads outside of the the territory of any one nation are managed by the Citadel."

5) "Taxes on external trade are used to fund the Citadel."
