Japanese Currency: 円 [えん] (It is pronounced ‘en’ and not ‘yen’)
So7300 yen is ななせんさんひゃくえん (nana sen san hyaku en); same as saying seven thousand three hundred yen.
Examples:
NowJapanese currency is counted in 10 thousands. So, 100,000 is 10,0000, that is じゆう まん (ten ten thousands) 200,000 is 20,0000, that is にじゅう まん (twenty ten thousands) 243,000 is 24,3000, that is にじゅう よん まん さんぜん (twenty four ten thousands and three thousand) 4,400,000 is 440,0000, that is よんひゃく よんじゅう まん (four hundred forty ten thousands) and so on…
Aureus of Hadrian and on the reverse side, his deified adoptive parents, Trajan and Plotina - the coin issue is dated to after AD 128, when Hadrian assumed the title ofPater Patriae,‘Father of his Fatherland’. This is hard to reconcile with the very youthful-looking portrait on the observe. -The Emperor Hadrian, Thorsten Opper
Numismatics is the study of currency, money, and its uses thereof. U.S. Currency is noteworthy for several reasons:
(ha! “note” worthy! Get it? It’s another of my famous puns. You lucky, lucky bastards…)
Anyways: -Did you know that US currency is the only money where the notes are all the same size? People in Europe refer to USD as “Monopoly Money” for that reason. Seriously.
-Since 1969, the largest denomination in circulation of US currency is the $100 Note. On top of that, there are far more people in the U.S. than there are $100 notes. Consequently, whenever you use a $100 note, most people would be smart enough to verify the authenticity of the note!
So, starting from the top:
-Yup. The first issuing note of $100 from the U.S. Treasury featured Lincoln on the note. It was in 1862, one year before his assassination, and in the midst of the Civil War.
-The next series was put into Circulation in 1870. It featured Senator Thomas Hart Benton (Missouri) on the note. He was most closely associated with the “Manifest Destiny” idea of westward expansion. Also, do you see where it says “GOLD” all over the note? US Currency is ensured in value by our stores of gold bullion, which are kept in places like Fort Knox, Kentucky or the Federal Reserve Bank, in NYC.
-1914 Was the first time Benjamin Franklin made his appearance on the note. That is Independence Hall on the back (it is where the Liberty Bell is: in Philly.)
-1966 Was the next series. I kinda like the typography on that note. It is kinda cool looking. It also has a new seal of the US Treasury, and the Latin has been replaced with English. It was issued because of a bunch of changes internally, and because of a decrease in the amount of currency in circulation.
-Series 2006A was the next release of the note. It was actually released in 1996, but was renamed the 2006A because it underwent numerous changes to stop counterfeiting efforts.
-the most current version of the currency from 2009. Current Currency designs are often subject to recalls, modifications, and so forth. (Current Currency is the correct terminology. it is also alliterative, with the same root for each word. Do you KNOW what that means? It means that I have given you lucky bastards TWO examples of my stunning word-play, in only one post! You guys hit the freaking jackpot with me!) The 2009 series was DESIGNED in 2009, but was released in 2011, recalled and replaced with an uncolored version (some kind of problem with creasing), and the next series is set to be released in October of 2013.
It is actually kind of interesting, when you read about it. Also, look at world currency pictures at some point. They’re often quite beautiful. Another thing to look for: in the UK, Coins issued with the Portrait of the Queen are issued with her age correct for the date of issue. So, the first coins released under her reign showed a young woman. Now, they show her to have aged quite considerably.

Viola Desmond, civil rights icon, featured on Canadian currency. She is the first woman aside from the queen and first black woman to be featured on Canadian money.
Currency is one of the staples in fantasy worlds. Whether it’s a silver stag from Westeros, a knut from Gringotts or some unnamed gold coin, every world and culture has some sort of currency to buy items with. For many it is the driving force of their actions and the plot.
Coins and Notes
As in our world, currency takes different forms. Some are of metal, some of paper. The currency does not have to be in monetary form. Barter van also be used, a service in exchange for a service, an item in exchange for another item.
Worth
When you create a currency, you must choose which value each coin is worth. In Game of Thrones there are three kinds of coin: the golden dragon, the silver stag and the copper star. The gold is the most valuable of the three. In Harry Potter, we get a more in depth look at the currency’s worth and how everything matches up: 17 Sickles in a Galleon, and 29 Knuts in a Sickle, 493 Knuts to a Galleon. Of course, we can base currency on our real world: 100 lesser coins to 1 major one. Ex. 100 cents to a Euro.
Composition
In most fantasy works, we hear about golden coins and we imagine solid chips of gold. However in history, the gold and silver of the coins are mixed with lesser metals. The worth of the coin against another kingdom’s currency relied upon the percentage of the precious metal. If Kingdom X’s gold coin is 30% pure and Kingdom Y’s is 60% pure, for every coin paid by kingdom Y, X must pay 2.
Design
Every kind of coin has a different value as does every note and often they are shaped different. Most coins are smaller as their value decreases. Using different shapes can be interesting and add a more original feel to our currency. Most historical coins bear the visage of a monarch or mythical being or deity. An inscription can also be inscribed on the parchment or coin. Coinage can be used as propaganda as all the commons will see them.
