What kind of currencies are used in Exalted?
Jade is the standard upon which Exalted currency is based, but (as with gold in the real world), very little of it is actually in circulation, especially outside the Blessed Isle. Actual jade money is extremely valuable, with a single jade obol (the smallest coin minted by the Realm) being roughly equal to a peasant’s annual post-tax income. [M&C, 107] The Realm also issues copper coins and paper scrip. Throughout the Threshold, the de facto standard is the silver dinar, which is backed by the Guild.
