RFI - Currency Formats - Everyone's Help Wanted

[dulux-oz]

Hi All,

I need people's help. I need to know what current formats you have seen used in FG for currencies (ie prices) - or for that matter, which ones you'd like to use/see. I'm trying to develop a list of these.

I'll start the ball rolling to give everyone a couple of examples of what I'm looking for:

5GP (and SP, EP, PP, CP, etc)
5 GP (note the "space")
5Gp
5gp
5.5gp
5 Gold (& Silver, Platinum, etc)
1 Gold Piece
5 Gold Pieces
$1
$1.37
2/6
£1-1s-0d
£1/1/-
13/3
13s
3d
15Cr
15 Credits

So, that's the type of thing I'm looking for. If you seen/used anything that's not on the above list or not in any of the posts below, then please let me know.

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Plenty of settings have falvoured coins - crowns, ducats etc but they would still likely be counted as gp, sp etc....

[dulux-oz]

Your right - but what I'm after is the format of how the currency/price is recorded :)

[Zacchaeus]

I can't think of any formats other than the ones you've got D-O. Anything I can think of is just a substitution of £ or gp

Shadowrun uses nuyen (¥). It's whole numbers and after the value 2,000¥

Thanks Nylanfs - I should have had SR in my list - after-all I play the damn game :p

Only thing I can think of, from real life, not a game are the country qualifiers for dollars.

$1USD (US dollar)
$1 USD
US$1
$1CAN (Canadian dollar)
$1 CAN
CAN$1
MEX$1 (Mexican peso)
1 peso
$a1 (Argentinian peso)

More can be found on this page, and it loads more as you scroll down; https://www.investopedia.com/terms/forex/a/arp-argentinian-peso.asp
and the Euro symbol (which I don't know how to typo!)

I think Dark Sun uses steel coins as currency. I don't remember what the abbreviation is for it though. There is also a different coin in the Dragonlance setting if I remember right.

EDIT:
Dark Sun Currency
ceramic pieces = 1 cp
ceramic bits = 1 bit

Dragonlance
A bunch of weird coins. (https://www.dlnexus.com/archives/astinus/artifacts/currency.aspx)
1 steel coin
1 iron coin
1 bronze coin

I usually write USD in the $USD99.00 format.... :)

[Nickademus]

I usually write USD in the $0.00 format, cause that's how much I usually have...
