From Discworld MUD Wiki
Money in the disc is manifested as coins that are carried about. All coin types from a region form a currency.
There are eight types of currency in use on the Disc. They are:
- Pumpkin Town money, in use only in the newbie area. (It is converted to local currency upon leaving Pumpkin Town.)
- Agatean Empire money, in use in Bes Pelargic, the Brown Islands, and on Thursday's Island.
- Ankh-Morpork money, in use in Ankh-Morpork and the rest of the Sto Plains.
- Djelian money, in use in Djelibeybi, the Djelibeybi Harbour, the shop of the Imbetos farmstead, the trading post, and the Klatchian Foreign Legion outpost.
- Ephebian money, in use at the Chronides farmstead, Il Drim, the Oasis and the PK combat arena. Also may be found on mean Ephebian mercenaries in Ankh-Morpork.
- Genuan money, in use in Genua and Bois.
- Lancre money, in use in the Ramtops and Uberwald.
- Klatchian money, in use in the ruins of Tacticum.
- Tsortean money
An eighth type of currency, provincial, is no longer in use, but the brass coin was the lowest-value coin and is still the one by which the others are measured.
In-game, you can use the "rate" command or the "convert" command to see how much a certain amount is worth in another type of currency.
rate <money> {in|from} <place> {to|in} <place>
rate <money> {to|in} <place>
convert money <money> {in|from} <place> {to|in} <place>
convert money <money> {to|in} <place>
For example:
>rate LSov 2|8|-|1/4 to am
LSov 2|8|-|1/4 is worth A$138.24.
>rate 27 Lancre crowns, 56 Lancre shillings, 4 Lancre sixpences, 4 Lancre thruppences, 4 Lancre tuppences, one Lancre penny, 5 Lancre ha'pennies and 3 Lancre farthings to am
LSov 2|7|11|8 3/4 is worth A$138.14.
You can use a money changer to actually change one type of currency to another, or use banks that have branches in different areas.
