"130 or so." Armok below, they've gone Imperial.

If people insist on a set number, then we round up to 144 tiles or three embark squares. So a 3x3 square is a Morul wide and a Morul high.

[Karnewarrior]

Morul=Mile?

[Arkenstone]

Ok I think I'll be calling them "quids" from now on.  It's clever and unique, and best of all it's already accepted slang for currency

Previously I didn't really have a name for it, but I'm suprised nobody's yet called them "cp"s...

But I think that whatever you call it, as long as its more creative than "urists" "dwarfbucks"  et cetera I think it's fine.

[MaximumZero]

I asked earlier, but there was no answer so here goes: Am I the only one who assigns a monetary value to all of the metals in the raws?

[MrWiggles]

Does it do anything?

[MaximumZero]

I'm not sure. I'll have to do some !!science!!

[twilightdusk]

I call them Suns.

[Urist McUristy]

I've heard them called dwarf bucks and dimdums. I'd use either term in a DF conversation interchangeably. Then again, this is coming from someone who never mints coins.

As a side note:

How the carp did you do that?

Search Zalgo.

[Neoskel]

I remember people on the forums calling them 'turtles' a while back since they use the same symbol.

[ToonyMan]

I call them turtles.  It's easy to say, spell, and remember.

[Jorshamo]

But then that raises the question: how is a turtle worth 2 turtles?

Anyway, on the topic at hand, I just call them units, but I'm gonna try calling them Urists.

Call them shells.  Turtles have two shells (top and bottom halves of the same shell) so this would explain that problem.

[Kanil]

Dwarfbucks or Turtles, myself.

I'm not sure why...

[vhappylurker]

But then that raises the question: how is a turtle worth 2 turtles?

Inflation and/or price mark-up.

And now I can't stop thinking of dwarfbucks as turtle shells...

Therefore, you sometimes get artifacts encrusted with dwarfbucks? Who the hell encrusts shit with money anyway?
