Tierran Currency

Tierran currency is accepted throughout most of the Northern Kingdoms, though sometimes and unfavourable rates of exchange. The PCs won't have to worry about this for a while yet, as one of the conditions that come with a trade treaty with Tierra is the acceptance of Tierran currency at face value. There are three main denominations of Tierran currency, they are:

Copper Pennies (Pence)
Lowest common denomination. This is mainly used for pocket change and has the rough equivalent of 1.00 CDN today. There are also half penny coins for really small purchases (like candles and the like).

Silver Damsels (Dams)
Twenty pence make up a Damsel. These are used for major consumer transactions. Weapons and armour are priced from five-ten Dams up. NOTE: The name of the coin itself comes from the traditional "lowest price" for "licensed" (that is to say, state-guaranteed STD-free) prostitutes on Gunner Street in Tierra's Docks District.

Gold Crowns
Twelve Dams make a Crown. Crowns are used for REALLY big purchases. Even the finest mundane swords and firearms sit in the 15-50 crowns range. Anything above the 10 000 Crown mark is usually the purvey of large noble fiefs,
