Lutra
While precious metals and therefore coins are valued, the culture does not mint/print any of their own. General trade is a barter system, with little to no oversight and reliance on both parties coming to an agreement.

Manthir
Money in Manthir, termed as rings or coins, are in the shape of small metal beads or rings. While there is a standard size, they can vary, so sometimes a scale might be used to balance payments. As they have a hole through the center, coins are typically carried by threading twine through their centers and then attaching this to a belt or tying it off and placing them inside of a coin pouch. There are three types of coins, each made of a different metal with different value.

Metal	Value	Exchange Rate
Copper	1	1/10 silver
Silver	10	1/10 gold
Gold	100	1/10 palladium
Palladium	1000

Taknier
Taknier uses a similar coin system of rings as above, though theirs are produced in a standard mint, inscribed with a date and the royal stallion insignia of the Tarvalier Clan. With this standard comes trustworthiness, and Taknier coinage is favored at home and abroad. Nobility of various classes sometimes weave rings of various value into their formal clothing or on accessories (such as scarves or veils) to show off wealth and style.
