Currency

The main currency of the Tsoamin world is gold, silver, and bronze. Gold is the most valuable, and is worth twice as much as silver, and four times as much bronze.

4 bronze - 2 silver - 1 gold

The desert dwellers have supplies of gold, silver and bronze for when/if they need to travel outside their community. Inside their towns and villages, they use a currency called grane. Grane is a material found in the desert. The sun's heat beats down on clumps of sand, eventually melting them into a glass-like substance, which the desert dwellers take and mold into coins. Each coin has a labelled amount imprinted into it of either 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200 or 300.

Merfolk tend to use shiney stones and shells found in the water instead of any type of currency. They often show mer shop owners what shells and jewels they possess and haggle with them according to how much the owner thinks they're worth.
