Today I am going to talk about money. As you know almost every country uses a currency of sorts to serve as a medium of exchange.
Shayden and most countries on Adonia are no different, Shayden uses the Sent. The Sent is
the Adonian equivalent of the U.S Dollar before the recession hit.
Shayden and its neighbor Acadia established the currency in the 1780's after the Colonies War (Shayden and Acadia's revolutionary war)
in order to establish their economy. The Sent is one of the world's dominant reserve currencies to this day has been adopted by many other nations such as Antonia and Fraesia.
The Sent is produced by Shayden and Acadian Government's and is only legally produced in Shayden and Acadia as said in their
constitutions. Shayden produces the Sent at the National Mint located in the capital Smith City:
There are multiple forms of Sents. Though the most popular bills are the §1, §5, §10, §20, §50, and §100 Sent bills. The subunit of Sents
are Pents, there are 10ῥ and 25ῥ coins. 1ῥ and 5ῥ coins were discontinued in 2005 due to lack of buying power and expensive production
costs. Prices are rounded to the nearest tenth if you pay in cash, but price stays the same when you use a credit card/check.
(To see the Sent in full size, click here. Please do not use these, it took me months to make all of these and I don't plan on tolerating
people who steal or copy/rip off.)
When converting the Sent into U.S Dollar (though that would never happen since the United States doesn't exist on Adonia), $1.00 is
worth §0.79 and §1.00 is worth $1.27.
A Loaf of Bread costs §0.80 and a Gallon of Milk costs §2.13.
