The Denkmark is the currency of the Gemeinde of Sober Thought and its symbol is the stroke-D or Ð.
Relative value
Although it floats freely against all other Nation States currencies within and without the International Democratic Union, it performs so badly that no sensible traveller or business person would bother taking the currency out of the country, except perhaps as a colourful memento which is cheaper than the postcard it could buy, or less charitably something to use after the last page of the Sears catalogue in the outhouse.
According to NS Economy, it fares little better against the US$, typically trading at several thousand dinky Denkmarks to the almighty Dollar.
Monetary policy
The Ministry of Community Prosperity sets monetary policy for Sober Thought. Given that the country's economic performance rarely exceeds Imploded, one quickly learns that -- whether for good or ill -- the General Director of Currency and Minister of Community Prosperity value domestic jobs over foreign investment in keeping with the country's centre-left tendencies.
