Currency name?
« on: November 25, 2010, 01:55:48 pm »
Hello fellow DF players!
as far as i know the dwarf currency/wealth "☼" has no name. So i was wondering what you guys call it.
i tend to call them Euros, or Florins.

There was a time when cocksuits would have offended me. It's kind of bad that the time has passed.

To me it's just money, but I always imagine the voices from Killing Floor when I'm trading... Dosh.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

I'm never consistent with what I call my mullah, but dwarfbucks does feel like the prevalent term with me.

That wasn't technically a miscarriage, but the doctors didn't have a concise term for "gave birth and immediately baptized the baby in liquid fire."

I always think of them as historical coins depending on what year I stop worldgen.  My current world stopped in 707, so my fort is using deniers, livres, and sous for its currency (with the ☼ of course being the denier).

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.

I shall stop the heresy of calling them Dorfdollars and shall immediately convert to the way of the Urist.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.
