Ariddian Credit

The ariddian credit (symbol: Ç) is the official currency of the People’s Democratic Social Republic of Ariddia. The latter has now evolved into a moneyless society, but the ariddian credit has not become totally defunct. All ariddian credits are handled by the National Treasury, and used for foreign trade. Credits are also distributed to Ariddian citizens who wish to travel abroad.

The inflow of money into the country comes mainly from tourists, and from taxes levied upon foreign companies operating in Ariddia.

Somewhat confusingly, the North-West Ariddian currency is also called the ariddian credit. This is due to the fact that the small city-state originally used the currency of its “bigger brother”, until the Ariddian economy slumped, Ariddia abolished money, and North-West Ariddia began economic reforms. The North-West Ariddian currency can now be identified by different symbols on its coins and banknotes, and has a much greater value than its Ariddian namesake.

At present, one west ariddian credit buys 445.90 ariddian credits (WÇ1 = Ç445.90), and one ariddian credit from North-West Ariddia is worth Ç53.45.
