Wealth and economy

The economy in Angleadd is mostly based upon bartering and the exchange of goods and services. Most common folk seldom have much hard coin in their possession. Even the upper levels of society more often than not deals with goods and produce, with taxes being paid in livestock, crops and other items made by local farmers and craftsmen.

For those who favors dealing with money, the copper penny and half-penny is the most common of the coins amongst the population. For the slightly more prosperous members of society the silver crown is usually used, especially for people hiring professional help or dealing with larger trade transactions. One crown is worth twenty pennies. The rarest of all coins is the gold royal, hardly ever seen outside the largest merchant-houses and prominent noble families. One royal is worth a hundred crowns, and a single gold coin would be a fortune beyond the wildest dreams of most commoners.
