Currency

The basic unit of currency of the Kingdom of Talossa is the bent. While its worth varies according to the vagaries of trade and temperament, its value is backed by a national beer reserve, as administered by the Royal Talossan Treasury Board, a division of the Treasury. Currently, one bent is worth approximately two and a half American cents, or 1.67 eurocents. Bence are represented by the symbol ¤. For example, thrubbence would be written "¤3".

Sixty bence are referred to as a louis, named after former monarch Louis I. A lou, which has a current value of approximately $1.50 USD or 1 euro, is represented with the symbol ℓ. This symbol is only used for whole louise, however, so while a ferrigno would be written "ℓ10", a brock-and-a-half would be written as "1¤30".
