Hagivi Revolutionary Scrip

Summary

Money in Hagiv is almost universally Revolutionary Scrip - paper money issued by the Revolutionary Council of Hagiv, nominally backed by assets, but mostly backed by trust in the Hagivi government.

When it was first issued back in the 520s, one note of scrip was worth one gold piece. That's still the official exchange rate, but no one honors it unless forced to by the government. It now takes ten scrip notes to equal the buying power of one gold and the money changers in North Gavek require twelve notes to sell you one gold coin and won't buy more than they can expect to put back on the market within forty-eight hours. Except in very specific circumstances, scrip is worthless outside Hagiv.

Specie coins aren't forbidden in Hagiv, but they're looked on as a tool of criminal enterprises.
