    Default Eizon's currency

    I think we'll be using a world-wide currency system, so that no country will have an advantage over others in money-terms. Now, Eizon's currency will be the Eiz (pronounced "Ace"). Symbol: Σ

    So, anyway. We'll be needing a design for the currency. Maybe if more people pitch in and make a design, we could vote. If you can, make a design for five Eiz bills.

    Σ1 Bills, Σ5 Bills, Σ10 Bills, Σ50 Bills, and Σ100 Bills.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    If we are supposed to be in a medieval technology era, then coinage would really be the best method of currency, paper money wasn't viable in this world until 1694 and that required complex economics such as national debt. Plus going by paper, even if rare would be easy to duplicate as the masses would not know about the specifics of manufacture and the currency itself would most likely be drawn by hand, and forgers would have a field day making millions of fakes and causing economies to collapse from hyperinflation due to massive currency overloads.

    You're just that "ace", aren't you?

    Perhaps we should be designing coins then.

    I make no such claims of that and hinder it whenever I can. I merely make suggestions when applicable and they will allow BoB and Proto to devise some sort of gamesmaster rule to prevent the downfalls of paper money that I have noted to attempt to make a bill system work.

    Oops. I was referring to Proto and him calling the money "ace". You know, that thing he always had in his sig? "I'm just that ace"? Right? Right? Anyone?

    I would not suggest using a international currency because in medieval times there were no "currencies". x) Just gold and stuff, exept maybe in great financial centers where merchants could hand out cheques that transform into paper-money later on.

    And currencies have always stemmed from nations. I have some ideas for money - like tax-tokens.

    In the interest of simplicity, it would be a good idea to have a single currency. This would be rather unrealistic, but to combat this we could have the currency be a precious metal such as gold or silver. This could then develop into a modern currency system later on. The advantage of this is that we don't have to muck around with exchange rates etc.

    Or we could just use bartering for the time being, and work on our sales techniques.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    Exactly. We don't want to go through the trouble of exchange rates in Eizon.
