Notes
Monetary coins are a special type of item. When held normally, they do not count against your total inventory, but do have weight and will impact your encumbrance if carrying a large amount. They are also susceptible to theft.
Dropping coins will create coin items on the ground. Coins may be placed in and retrieved from moneybelts to protect them from thieves.
Non-Standard Currency
Non-standard currencies are former or current forms of currency that are treated as items and not accepted as payment at most locations.
Dira
Dira were the currency of the Empire of the Seven-Pointed Star, but are no longer valued as money. Instead, they are considered collector's items. See Dira for more information.
Oravir Slivers
The vykathi of the Hive use slivers of oravir as some form of currency. While not used by any other race, some researchers are willing to exchange them for more common coins.
