IC Posts have little impact, unless you do something immense like "CSA Abolishes Slavery!" and then you'll get couped.
Anywho.
Decision time! All nations must now state IC what monetary system they will use. Your options are:
The British Pound (£)
- The British Pound is the standard currency for all Financial Transactions in the World. But, due to the British Civil War, many nations have been weary of it's stability. The British Pound is currently worth .90 Gold Units.
Used by: The United Kingdom, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, The Austrian Empire, The German Federation
The Deutsches Mark (ℳ)
- The Deutsches Mark is the currency used only in the German Empire. Only now is it being considered as a currency for financial transactions due to the stability of the Mark compared to the British Pound. The Deutsches Mark is currently worth 1 Gold Units.
Used by: The German Empire, The United Republics of Ireland, The Kingdom of Belgium, The Kingdom of Sweden, The Great Qing, The South African Republic, The Empire of Japan; The Kingdom of Sweden
The French Franc (₣)
- Arguably one of the weakest currencies of Europe, the French Franc is slowly recovering from it's post-war downfall, and its value is slowly rising. The French Franc is currently worth .70 Gold Units.
Used by: The Second French Empire, Argentine Confederation
The United States Greenback ($)
- During the American Civil War, the United States of America removed itself from the Gold Monetary system to better finance the war. Due to the massive amount of printing of Greenbacks, there are a large number of them. The United States Greenback is currently worth 0.50 Gold Units.
Used by: The United States of America
The Confederate Dollar (C$)
- The Confederate States, unable to effectively raise enough Gold to finance the war, resorted to printing unbacked paper money. Any nation, besides the Confederacy, that would use this would surely see their country collapse. The Confederate Dollar is currently worth 0.10 Gold Units.
Used by: The Confederate States of America
