Thatoan Economics

The Continent of Thatos uses a unified and standardized set of coins, ranging from the cheapest unit, the Copper Chip to the most valuable, the Mithril Mina.

Copper Chip
The Copper Chip is the cheapest unit of currency and is only used for basic food purchases and the most threadbare of clothing.

Silver Sester
The Silver Sester is the second unit of currency, each being valued at 100 Copper Chips. The Sester is the common unit of daily trade with most basic professions paying at least a few sesters a month.

Gold Canta
The Gold Canta is the third unit of currency, each being valued at 100 Silver Sesters, or 10,000 Copper Chips. The Canta is used for more expensive trading with most weapons and armor being valued in Cantas.

Mithril Mina
The Mithril Mina is the fourth unit of currency, each being valued at 100 Gold Cantas, 10,000 Silver Sesters, or 1,000,000 Copper Chips. Mina are not used in any real daily trade, reserved for purchases of Mighty Weapons or Grand Armour and most commonly, the purchasing of business or buildings. A Small Kingdom's wealth is often measured in the Mina.

Dust Bullets
The Dust Bullet is not a traditional unit of currency, yet it can be valued in with the Thatoan system. Where the Mina is the most valuable common coin, the Dust Bullet is worth one hundred times the Mina. Thus, its worth 100 Mina, 10,000 Cantas, 1,000,000 Sesters and 100,000,000 Chips. A large Empire's wealth is often measured in the number of Dust Bullets they could purchase, though a Nations wealth is almost always made up of Minas and Cantas.
