Used in: Cravan
Introduced: January 5, 1867
ISO Code: CRVE
Exchange Rate: 1 Crave = $1.7696 (as of August 25, 2006)

Purpose

The Crave was designed as an alternative currency over the gold standard used before its first use.

Design

The currency is designed in the national color, forest green, with the photograph of an important figure in Cravanian history printed on it. The original Craves were simple in design, but more modern designs have been put into circulation to help curb counterfitting.

The Crave has a long history, from its initial issue in 1867, to its current state.

As of 2006, a new version was put in circulation to further counter counterfitting. So far, this new version has been effective. It can be seen below.


Value

The Crave is one of the most valued currencies in the Golden Triangle, and accepted in some of the nations residing there. The currency is interchangable with currencies from other nations in the Triangle, and the Crave has proven to be a versatile currency.
