The DIG System
The DIG System is a currency system used by numerous countries in Venturia. The currency was created and first used by The United States of Quentin, when the country was created in 1834. The system incorporates 3 different coins, called the Dargent, the Imali, and the Geld. The coins are worth different amounts, with the Dargent being worth the most, valued at Ð1 ($10.00), then the Imali, valued at Ð0.10 ($1.00), and finally the Geld, valued at Ð0.05 ($0.50). The DIG system is listed as the 3rd most valued currency in the world, behind only The Trio and The Cosavalor.
History
In 1834, The United States of Quentin had just fought and won Quentinian War for Independence against their former mother country, the Republic of Megatridimensional Order. After the war, the new country was created, as well as The Constitution of the United States of Quentin, and a wave of nationalism swept the country, which included a national anthem, flag, and mottoes. A new currency was also needed, as the nation decided to declare The Trio invalid in 1836. So, a committee called the Quentinian Economic Council convened in 1836, attempting to hash out economic problems the nation had, including banking, debt, as well as the creation of a new currency. The committee decided on a new currency, called the DIG System, as well as created and designed all three coins. After approval from the Congress of the USQ, the council started creating the coins in Minersville, The Grassland Area, in 1837.
Nations That Use It
Besides the USQ, the DIG System is used by 6 other countries. This is Ravensonia, Carkhia, Xevenia, The Northern Patrons of Ice, Docneighland, The Iridium Coast, and Rapathion. The structure for the currency is the same in all the countries except for Rapathion, where Imalis are not accepted, and Gelds are worth more.
