History
Coins and banknotes of the Topian Guilder have values that are multiples of 3. This stems from the ternary (base-3) and nonary (base-9) number systems which were used in the Ropa-Topian Empire, but which also remained to be used long after the RTE's demise.
The values used may look a little odd now the decimal system is being used, but there is an advantage over the more common denominations used in most other 'decimal' nations: As long as everyone makes sure they have at least one of every coin and every banknote, a person will always have enough change when buying or selling something.
An example: An item that costs 99G can be paid with a 81G and a 27G note, the change will be a 9G note.
| Price | Paid | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 1G | 1G | - |
| 2G | 3G | 1G |
| 3G | 3G | - |
| 4G | 3G, 1G | - |
| 5G | 9G | 3G, 1G |
| 6G | 9G | 3G |
| 7G | 9G, 1G | 3G |
| 8G | 9G | 1G |
| 9G | 9G | - |
| 10G | 9G, 1G | - |
| 99G | 81G, 27G | 9G |
| 100G | 81G, 27G, 1G | 9G |
| 150G | 243G | 81G, 9G, 3G |
