Amber and Chaos use the Gold Standard.

            The Haven Dollar by Treaty is par with the Thelbane Pound. Kelric made arrangements with the Suhuybanks Inc to keep the Haven Dollar fixed and not subject to currency speculation.

            Linchester uses the Thelbane Pound in a currency union. Blake's head is just on the coins issued in Linchester. Suhuy runs both nation's royal mints.

            The Mecklenberg four nations all have their coinage fixed at the same rate as the Thelbane Pound/Haven Dollar. (Scott can correct me but the Trinity currency is the Trinity Dollar)

            The Outer Parys Livre is .90 Haven Dollars but is not fixed and went down to .81 after the recent rounds of instability.

            The Corellium Maxmark went up after Haven intervention to .75 Haven Dollars

            The Inverness Unit is not known (Deb can supply it) and currently with strong gift giving (Suhuy is expecting some gifts to match or better the ones to Oberon) is currently set at .9 Haven Dollars, the standard rate for newer Great Powers.

            The Lupinian Unit is set at 1.02 Haven Dollars because of Jason's freehand with the Suhuy banks and a lack of major expenditures.

            The Brandenberg Crown is at 1.03 Haven Dollars

            The Rolandae Dollar is at .92 Haven Dollars because of its debt problems.

            Amber produces no paper money and left the Suhuyean currency exchange officially after the Eric return to power. Suhuy arbitrarily recognizes old Jasra Amber money at 1.00 Haven Dollars.

            Ygg money units not being a great power and due to permanent instability is .23 Haven Dollars

            Gold and silver value is weighed on gold content and on weight internationally

            Current Values

              1 gold ounce = 300 Haven Dollars
              1 Au oz = 20 Silver ounces
              1 Ag oz = 100 copper ounces

            Usual standard for coins

            1 gold coin of X weight is worth 20 silver coins of the same weight or 2000 copper coins of the same mass

            This is assumed that the gold is reasonably 24 k or the suhuy standard is 99.44% pure.
