 ===Introduction===
-For the majority of history, Atharen operated on a variety of different currencies largely tied to nations - Tyrclaid, for example, would have its own system of coin and the same would apply to Vendigad, Lorien, Radenor, Khadai and so forth. Though this worked fairly well at the time, during the reign of the Unbroken Empire this method of transacting was seen as a burden on the Empire and all currencies were reformed to fit a common market, with even those nations outside of the Empire's footprint pressured to conform in order to continue trade with the titanic nation. A single currency was designed and distributed, with old currencies acquired by banks in exchange for converted Imperial currency, only for the old coins to be sent to Adena in order to remove them from fluctuation.

 The new standard currency became known as Imperial Dranari, and since its introduction has remained the dominant form of currency for virtually all nations, carrying the same value across regions and realms, making trade between countries easier and more effective. The dranari has since been renamed Dranari Farthing, or 'df', referring to the individual coins that make up one standard denomination of worth.

 ===Dranari===
-Dranari works on farthings as individual coins, with each farthing being a truly tiny coin of marble texture and greyish-jade coloring. One farthing is not considered to be worth very much, but each farthing is typically used as a form of change or for the purchase of much smaller items. Larger dranari values virtually always take the form of bank notes, withdrawn from a local bank or given by one's employer in order to make purchases. There are even certified, high-value bank notes for the purchases of more prestigious items or one-time purchases such as homes, ships or other valuable objects, with these notes being written to a near-unlimited value so long as they are certified by someone with the right institutional authority.

 There is no such thing as a 'cent' or 'penny', with all dranari operating on a single total denomination, physical farthings and bank notes only acting similar to 'bills' of lesser or greater value. All dranari farthings will be recorded as one singular currency on someone's ledger, typically 'df' for their total value. There are no gold farthings, silver farthings, etc -- it is up to the RPer in role-play to determine what denominations they may be carrying around in terms of bills and farthing coins.

 ===Banking===
-Most banking in Atharen is either directly performed by or related to the United Imperial Vault, or more commonly coined ‘the Imperial Bank,’ a multi-national, politically neutral association of lenders, investors, wealth managers and institutional banking professionals. The Imperial Bank is extremely wealthy and powerful, with more dranari than most governments in reserve and truly astronomical annual earnings. Headquartered in the Grisith Empire, the influence of the Imperial Bank reaches as far out as the fringes of Mornoth and has had a heavy hand in the finance sector since the Clockwork Age. For this reason, deposit rates, banking policies and lending interest rates tend to be uniform across the world. The bank also plays a heavy part in the fluctuation and control of wages and property values.
