Currency and Food?

What type of Currency is used in Naruta? Also what types of fruits and vegetables grow in Acoia?

*copies from the for reference wiki cause it's 5:30 am here* The primary form of currency in Naruta is the copper coin. While silver and gold coins do exist, they are extremely rare (being that these precious metals are generally used in goods rather than money, and are still hard to procur). Only the upper class are likely to have these denominations of cash - the rest of us use copper coins and copper bits. A copper bit is a piece of a copper coin, used for extremely cheap items. The term "Copper" and "Coin" are synonyms. Saying something is one copper or one coin is the same thing.

Exchange Rate
4 Bits - 1 Copper Coin
100 Copper Coins - 1 Silver
100 Silver - 1 Gold

Firegem uses gemstones for currancy, but you're not likely to need that for now. Most sane people avoid hostile territory after all. I'll let someone awake answer your other question if you want detail, but Acoia would probably grow most of your basic vegies at least - carrots, peas, potatoes ect. Same for fruit.

The most common denomination used is copper. 100 copper coins=1 silver coin. 100 silver = 1 gold. Only the extremely wealthy have gold, and even then, they're still more likely to pay with silver unless making a very large purchase. For goods that cost less than a copper, bits-copper that's been cut into quarters-are used.

As for food grown, there's no real hard guidelines there. I imagine, though, that no tropical type food would be grown. Acoia's not far enough south.

Thanks for the help.

Not going to edit my post since it'd probably get overlooked that way, but we do indeed have a thread on money, located here.

Just don't worry about being really specific with pricing anything. If you have a character selling something, the easiest way to go about it is to just do something like 'so-and-so quoted a price that was cheap/average/expensive/etc.' That way you don't have to worry about trying to figure out if the price is in the right range.
