[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 4101200, member: 21938"] There would be credit notes, mainly for millions of yen transactions between the Merchant Houses rather than day to day payment. There are also different denomination yen coins, so you could just be carrying five 200s. I would guesstimate that a single coin probably weighs half as much as a metal coin, so 100 of them to 1lb. But you can usually change currency to the most convenient size denomination, so it's probably not worth worrying about the encumbrance of cash unless it's a big treasure haul. From the website: Money The most common form of money in the Empire of Splendour is the yen. This is a representative coinage made from glass. Trade secrets of the Guild of Glassblowers impart tiny embedded images in each coin, which are tear-shaped with a hole in the tapered end for fitting to a purse string. Denominations of coins are shown by the colour of the glass and the image within. 1 yen = green, 20 yen = red, 100 yen = blue, 200 yen = silver and 1000 yen = gold. Different nations produce their own yen. The 'standard' is now the Merchants League yen, minted in Llaza. Imperial yen have devalued somewhat but are still common. Smaller nations like Oksa, Nirhamsa and Kronlordan also mint their own yen, but League coins have the strongest economy behind them. One yen is roughly equivalent in buying power to one copper piece. Across the lands, different goods have different values, and different yen have different buying powers but the simplest method is to convert values as given below. * 1 copper piece = 1 yen * 1 silver piece = 10 yen * 1 gold piece = 100 yen * 1 platinum piece = 1000 yen [/QUOTE]
