83-14 About the Monetary Economy
"World Conference" Day 2.
The start time is 9: 00 am.
“Today's agenda starts with the circulation of currencies.”
Theon, the chairman, declared.
The world's currencies are gold, silver, and copper, and they are common to the Lesser Kingdom of Shaulo, the Kingdom of Mitsuho, and the Duchy of Hussein.
Some are called cash, but these are for deposits and are not in circulation.
And most importantly, the World Conference has the right to issue.
However, the size and quality are strictly determined.
The design is a sword = dry Schubert with three crossed heads in common.
The gold coin is 10,000 torr (about 100,000 yen in Japanese yen).
Gold is 500 torr (market value) per gram.
The gold coin has a diameter of about 25 millimeters and a thickness of about 2 millimeters (about 1 cubic centimeter).
Approximately 20 grams at 75 percent gold, 15 percent silver, and 10 percent copper (18 K).
On the back is the face of the goddess in the sun.
The silver coin is 100 torr (about 1000 yen in Japanese yen).
Silver is five torr (market value) per gram.
The silver coin is about 25 millimeters in diameter and about 2 millimeters thick. (about 1 cubic centimeter in volume).
Approximately 10 grams at 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper (coin silver).
On the back are nine stars and the face of the goddess.
The copper coin is one tall (10 yen in Japanese yen).
Copper is 0.15 torr (market value) per gram.
The diameter of the copper coin is about 25 millimeters, and the thickness is about 1.2 millimeters. (about 0.83 cubic centimeters in volume).
95 percent copper, 5 percent tin (bronze) about 5 grams.
On the back is the side of the goddess of wheat and corn.
Gold, silver, and copper coins are mixed with 0.001 percent mythical silver, which is useful for magical identification.
Crystal ware is 10 million torr (100 million yen in Japanese yen)
Diameter about 50 mm, thickness about 3 mm. (about 6 cubic centimeters in volume).
Made from magic crystals (magic crystals) of all classes. Approximately 20 grams.
On the back is the flower of lilies and the face of the goddess.
It is for deposits and is not actually in circulation.
Of course, counterfeiting or casting is strictly prohibited and a felony.
In addition, the issued coins are specially magically treated, which also prevents counterfeiting.
There are three types of magic processing.
The first is' hardening ', which is hard and hard to scratch. Harder than iron nails (Morse hardness 4.5).
The second is "inactivation (inert)." The surface of the money is harder to discolor. (It can be said to be the old version of "Stabilization" previously developed by Ste arena)
The third is "Watermark". The mixed Mithril silver contains a magical "watermark" that can be distinguished by a dedicated magic tool.
These three are awarded simultaneously at the time of minting with the Magic Machine (Magi Machine) for Coin Issue stored in the Mint.
"As many of you know, we used to create and operate these magic machines (magic machines) for issuing coins in the Dinar Kingdom."
Theon explains.
"However, after a long time, the Dinar Kingdom also perished, and it was no longer possible to issue currency, but it was not a problem because the population was drastically reduced due to the" War of Magic ", and the economy was stagnant for about 400 years."
When saving as property, it was not in the form of money, but in the form of gold bullion, so the circulation of money was rarely reduced.
"That's why, about 400 years ago... around 3460 in the continental calendar, the world began to develop again, and naturally the size of the economy also increased, resulting in a shortage of money."
Theon is actually experiencing this.
"Therefore, [Magic Craft Jazz], the second-generation magic engineer, repaired the magic machine (magic machine) for issuing coins." And you sent the management committee to the World Conference. "
I see.
Jen listened behind her, wondering if I'd done that in the past.
The cause of the shortage of coins in circulation is probably not much because Ren saved up.
So, presumably, Jen repaired or constructed the coin issuing device to break the situation.
“Also, at that time, counterfeit currency was circulating, threatening the world's economies. In that sense, it was in that sense that this magic machine (magic machine) for currency issuance was newly created and managed at the" World Conference "."
Although he reproduced the technology of the old Dinar Kingdom, Jen thought that he had been burning his hands to prevent counterfeiting since that time.
“Now that we have a longer lead time, I would like to start a meeting to determine the number of coins issued by each country.”
Using a common currency, different monetary values can disrupt the economic balance between countries and thus destabilize the world situation.
I can't help it if there is a slight price difference, but it is not good if there is a large disparity.
Therefore, at the World Conference, the number of coins to be issued is determined according to the economic situation of each country.
I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but since the system was established, the global economy has remained stable.
(...... I'm not economically isolated......)
At best, Jen smiled bitterly that she could only keep a household account book.
Each country submits documents with figures such as tax revenues, revenues, revenues, expenses, etc., and evaluates them to determine the number of copies to be issued.
Normally, it is a task that does not end in a day or two, but if there is an auxiliary magic brain created by the "second generation magic engineer" [Magic Craft Jazz].
In short, it is a computer that is specialized in a specific task, and if you just enter the necessary data, it will give you results without excessive fluctuations.
Necessary data include population, national land area, revenues and expenditures for the past 10 years, breakdown of the national budget for the past 10 years, extraordinary expenditures for the past 10 years, and so on.
In addition, the "weighting" of each data is discussed and decided at the "World Conference" (although it is generally a treadmill from the previous year).
There is some discussion about the calculated figures, and fine-tuned figures are determined.
At that time, Jen was out of the conference room and breathing the outside air because she was not allowed to accompany her (she was also of little interest).
It ended in the morning by deciding on the number of such coins to be issued.
Grab lunch and start the afternoon with an introduction to Arnold and Delphina, the reality of the War of Magic, and heavy metal pollution.
Jen will also attend as a related party.
The Arnolds were supposed to prepare the paperwork.
"Yes, Father."
Reiko replied to Ren's mumbling.
“I wonder how Arnold and the others would react.”
It was Jen who wanted to make a better future by feeding on the past.
