Editing 40d:Currency

The game's '''currency''' is measured in "☼". Each item has a specific trade [[value]] in ☼.

When [[dwarven economy]] sets in, coins made of [[copper]], [[silver]], and [[gold]] will have monetary value(like real life paper money) in addition to their trade value (like any [[craft|finished good]] in dwarf fort). Copper coins are worth 1☼, silver coins are worth 5☼ and gold coins are worth 15☼. 

Independent of this, the trade of any coins is 10 multiplied by the [[metal]] value, when used in trade, or collectors coins sold in [[shop]]s (not copper, silver or gold coins).

Using coins as trade good is not advisable as they have no quality levels.
<!-- The monetary value of coins does NOT affect their value to you as the fortress deity.{{verify}}>>
<!-- last I checked, that was true. But that was before the 3D update. --Savok -->

Dwarven [[coins]] are minted at the [[Metalsmith's forge]].

-Using coins as a trade good is not advisable as they have no [[item quality|quality]] levels.  Allowing coinage in general circulation is not recommended as it aids nothing and dwarves tend to spend considerable time moving them around pointlessly.

-Coins have little value in fortress mode and do not benefit the economy in any way, nor do they make anyone happier, but they do lead to massive slowdowns both in cpu terms and in terms of what your dwarves can accomplish.
