The Gold Point is divided into 100 parts, each division called a "Rekvah". "Rekvah" translates roughly to "Coin" in the language of the Fl'eep Na'akty Tribe of Asgarnieu. 25 Rekvah is exactly 1/4 of a Gold Point.

Possible New Currency

In November 2006, a new currency was proposed to the Grand Parliament. It is called the Point Card. It is a credit card-like system that automatically subtracts costs and taxes from a person's central bank account. Purchases are made via a debit-like system that keeps all monies in an account managed by the government.

It is unclear as to whether or not the public will accept the new design. There are, of course, considerable risks in making a currency transfer like this. A possible destabilization of the economy may occur due to one single computer glitch. Although this is unlikely, it is a possiblity. It is also a great security concern. A skilled hacker could get into a citizen's personal account and syphon money from that account into his or her own. One possible benefit is the reduction of dependance on precious metals such as gold, platinum, and silver. These metals could be used elsewhere, such as in the production of importable jewlery, in the manufacture of microchips, and in the making of communications wire.

Mints

There is a mint in every province, state, and territory. The national mint is located in Balkan City, and provides the currency for all of the user nations that do not have mints. Colonial possessions do not have mints, but get their currency shipments from the Druid Province Mint
