Currency

Several different types of **currency** are used in The Claim's various economies.

The Thirteen Kingdoms of the Northern Claim have a uniform system of coinage known as **Crowns.** The different cities, towns, and villages of Valyria have their own various local currencies, as well as a widespread system of coinage known as **Dragons, Stags, and Pennies.**

## Northern Claim

Across the Thirteen Kingdoms and most of the settlements up north, the main currency is the **Crown** coin, coming in gold, silver, or copper, with a single crown engraved on it. On Auction Island, both Earthrealm and currencies from The Claim can be exchanged, but High Queen Maya Prasanna personally employs Prince Hyunmin of The Echo to exchange crowns for United States dollars or Korean Won.
