Currencies of Elendar

There are several different systems of interchangeable currencies in Elendar.

Ancient

There are four ancient currencies commonly found in the treasure troves of Elendar: draconic, Elvish, Drakkon, and dwarven.

Contemporary

There are many mints at work in Elendar, as most communities are independent. Some, however, work together to have a common currency, which helps to make trade easier. For example, the Free Cities of Coristía have a common system of currency, with mints in most of the larger cities. Balconian cities that are non-dwarven or non-gnomish have a common currency, as do the dwarves of the Mountains of Lon and the communities of Sveltét. Each of the Farrakian city-states mints their own currency.
