Reigel

Reigels(Ɽ) are the primary form of currency used to pay for goods and services in Faria. Lyres are the primary producers of the coinage though they do not value currency differently per continent, instead all coinage is of equal value regardless of where it is produced. Different continents however do more commonly produce certain coins than others, but it is largely dependent on the ore available to use. Sphraga and Andor are the largest manufacturers of coins.
Reigels are not used for every transaction, among merchants and settlements trade is commonplace when working with livestock or bulk supplies. Trade is commonly done to keep settlements in touch with one another and maintain peaceable relationships by exchanging goods equally, though sometimes reigels from a settlements treasury may be added to a trade if supplies are lacking.
The only location in Faria that does not accept the use of reigels is The Warren. Reigels may be exchanged for credits, but reigels have little value to The Warren so the exchange rate is quite poor.
==Currency==
===1Ɽ ===
The 1Ɽ coin is the most common coin found in circulation among the poorest people, lying on the ground or at the bottoms of wells. In spite of how common it is, its made from a metal largely found on the continent of Andor known as andorite, though pockets of andorite ore are found on other continents. In order to stretch the supply of this metal further to make such simple coinage, it is pressed with a hole in the middle to save on material used. It is modestly decorated with pine needles representing the miles of pine forest found across Andor. This coin can buy very meagre things like day old bread, a mug of water or an apple.
===3Ɽ===
The 3Ɽ coin is the most common coin handed over as change or found in the pockets of clothes fresh from the wash. It is made of copper mined in Sphraga and is the most common coin they produce locally. This coin is ornately decorated with swirls representing the sandstorms of Sphraga, an appropriate homage to the challenges of the continent that people living there face every day. This coin may buy simple every day things like fresh bread, a mug of mead/ale and three apples.
===5Ɽ===
The 5Ɽ coin is commonly kept in coin purses of those living a humble but comfortable existence and often picked up from the ground as a lucky find. This coin is made from nickel mined in Reistein. The coin is pressed with a scene of an icy tundra dotted with towering evergreen trees as a reflection of the harsh, cold land this coin often comes from. This coin will buy a small pack of premade travel rations (including half a bread loaf, a small piece of cheese and dried fruit and nuts), a bottle of average quality wine and a nights rest in a poor inn. This will also be used to pay wages for a quarter of a days work.
===10Ɽ===
The 10Ɽ coin is the most commonly carried coin by travelers and will typically be used to pay for most goods and services. This coin is made of silver primarily mined in Malina's mountains which are rich in silver ore. True to its origins, this coin is pressed with the Azul Mountains, one of the largest mountain ranges on Faria. This coin will buy a good dagger or a basic short sword, a well-rounded meal in a tavern, a fine wine or a nights rest in a comfortable inn. This coin is often used to pay for half a days work.
=== 20Ɽ===
The 20Ɽ coin is not often carried by people except for merchants or the very wealthy. It is made of gold mined largely in Nowe and most commonly circulates Laissez Faire due to it attracting merchants regularly. The coin is decorated in homage to each of the four Children of Akoelia who protect the surface of Faria and its people. This coin would buy a fine tunic, a good quality broadsword, a high quality spirit and a night's rest in an upper-class or aristocratic inn. This coin will pay a full days wages or half a day for much more perilous or high level work.
===Gold Bars===
Gold bars are not seen in the hands of most people often, but they can be found among the wealthiest of nobility, in treasuries and sometimes carried by successful merchants. These bars are not passed over the counter in exchange for goods but rather are used to represent the total wealth of an individual in a more manageable to cart and carry form. Gold bars are typically stored in locked chests to be pulled by caribox in caravans and guarded by mercenaries or The Lyre Guard. Each gold bar is the equivalent of 100 gold coins so they are only used for very large payments or used in conducting business in settlements. These gold bars are decorated in a number of ways, sometimes they may be decorated with low grade gemstones or pressed with depictions of the moon gods Duulasa and Yuushii.
