There are 4 kinds of coins around:

coin        value   short
----------------------------
donnarlin       1      dl
norind         20      nr
celebel       320      cb
tangram      3840      tg

The values are in donnarlin. This gives exchange rates
    20 donnarlin = 1 norind,
    16 norind    = 1 celebel,
    12 celebel   = 1 tangram.
The 'count money' command can help with exchange
calculations. (See 'help count'.)

The coins can be handled by their name or by their short
name, for example: <l at tangram> or <l at tg>.


The different coin types:

Donnarlin:
The donnarlin is a little brass coin made by the dwarves of
Xorlogosch. The word 'donnarlin' means 'metalwork' in
dwarvish. It is the least valuable of all currencies, and
also the most frequently used. You can see it practically
everywhere in everyday trade.

Norind:
It is a copper coin minted by the people of Noradim. It was
the usual daily payment of a soldier of the Noradim Empire.
Today, due to a bit of inflation since the days of the
Empire, about two norind is what a typical peasant worker
earns in a day.

Celebel:
The celebel is a coin made by the elves. The meaning of
'celebel' in common language is 'silverstar'. The coin has
a beautiful picture of a star on it. In former times it was
only used in the lands of the elves, but with the Noradim
armies destroying and looting most of the elven cities, its
use has spread all over the continent.

Tangram:
The rich merchants of Tangradim needed a coin with high
value. So they created the tangram. It is a gold coin
embossed with the picture of the current ruler of Tangradim
The coin isn't too much in use because it is very valuable.
Most transactions are done in lesser coinage. But if you
want to carry or store large amounts of money, the tangram
is perfect for that.
