History
Under old Maanenic law there is no legal tender ie. it was up to the recipient to choose if they wish to reject notes in exchange for payment of debt.This created a highly complex banking system. The value of currency was known to vary wildly across the nation, for instance the Royal Cliffton currency traditionally have a very high value wheras Eastern and Provincial currency tends to be very low. With advancements in banking systems and movement away from small local shops to supermarkets the arrangement became unworkable.
Under the Maanenland Economic Region Act 1964 all regional currencies were pegged to the central currency although regional banks were still responsible for the printing of their own indivudal currencies. The Central Bank also created one national currency that was legal tender throughout the nation.
Regional Currencies
Although all currencies are pegged to the same rate some currencies are inherently worth more than others unofficialy. This is similiar to many nations in the world where the local currency is effectivly worthless and so a different international currency is used that can be more easily traded.
The worth of a currency usually depends on the finanical integrity of the issuing institution.
