High Elf coins
Warm to the touch, Glow in the dark and do not slip against each other no matter the force.
Wood Elf coins
Weigh the same as wood, Their edges blend into the background and do not make a sound when rubbed against each other.
Dark Elf coins
Cold to the touch, Absorb light and feel slippery.
Sea Elf coins
Vary amongst the above three
Other Races[edit]
Hobbits use Human. Hill Dwarfs use Human or Mountain Dwarf. Mountain Dwarf is the most stable and regarded as the best currency. Large amounts of money are in the form of Bank Scrips, redeemable at respected banks.
