The Cadag Intervention

[Verion]

Ric was mistaken, Countess Layla didn't intoduce the Florint but it was introduced by Iron Company merchants. The Florint started out as a private exchange currency used by the Company to create an easy way to compare local currencies. Because there wasn't really an official currency in Crowslifer, many of the tradesman/women of the county began to use the Florint as well.

The exchange rate for a Silver Florint to the Erb is 3.5:1. One Golden Florint has 17.5 times the value of a Silver Florint.

An interesting conundrum. Economy mostly running on trade of goods. Will be difficult to introduce the concept of a fiat currency. Paper is foreign to these lands. We might make it out as something valuable. Please send money supply as soon as possible. It's nigh-on payday for the regulars.
