The Aerionian Gold Leaf (Currency Code: AGL) (A£) is the official currency of the Grand Kingdom of Aerion. The A£ is considered a fiat currency, meaning it is not backed by a gold standard or fixed to a mass of precious metal. It is adjusted by the Royal Central Bank and issued by the Royal Mint.

The Aerionian Gold Leaf is unique in that it is primarily an electronic currency. Standard paper and coinage has been phased out.


Usage

The standard government issued legal tender is the Aerionian Gold Leaf credit chip, a round electronic device resembling a coin with an digital display that can be loaded with various denominations of Aerionian Gold Leaves at ATMs. For example, an person making a payment for lunch may load an credit chip with 15A£ which will be displayed on the chip's simple digital display. He may then use this as payment.

The credit chip is very safe, and protected by the Royal Government. It is a felony to tamper with an credit chip.

In practice most people do not use credit chips unless they are for some reason needed as legal tender. Most Aerionians use their bank cards which are also proximity cards that allow easy one-tap payment by sensor.

Other forms of legal tender

The Royal Mint issues other forms of legal tender that are often used by the wealthy, and for ceremonial purposes.
