How should we call our currency ?

[Spiffor]

Ghengis : I think your "Eaglot" idea is interesting. Please check your PMs about it (yes, I wrote you 2 PMs)

Here's a quick graphic:

I like the graphic

only i think that the color in the middle should be darker a bit

I agree, I could make different eagles/hawks in different positions for different denominations, like a bronze, silver and gold Eaglot and maybe a copper Sparrow and iron Falcon.

Nice graphics Ghengis! Give it a polish and a couple more details it will look great...Maybe something to do with conquest or wonders underneath the eagle?

[Spiffor]

Ghengis : looks good

[Shiber]

Perhaps if we've finished a wonder we could celebrate that by issuing coins engraved with a picture of the magnificent wonder.

Is there any chance of Paris finishing the Pyramids before we take it? The Pyramids would look good.

hi ,

guys a cent times 100 is one dollar or euro , .....or one apo , ....

we might even give the "cent" a new name

Sirotnikov ; since you are so good at graphics , can you come up with some coins and or notes

if Paris builds the GL , we could wait a bit , to build more workers and troops , .....

and when they are done , we just grab it

have a nice day

Darn it!

We need a name before we need any graphic designs!

Right now we have Eaglet, Guapo, Lyton, and others: but what is their significance?

Naming our currency after individuals is bad form- we had no single founder, no Bolivar or Balboa, so naming it after an individual would not be, in my opinion, wise. Putting individuals on the coins or giving coins the nicknames of individuals is fine, but naming our money something like Uber: that just 'cult of personality' not consistent with a democracy.

Where anything Banana related comes from is clear- and I shall oppose it fervently- its boring as hell for everything in this game to be banana based.

Were Lyton and Apo comes from is clear

Were Guapo comes from is not, and neither is eaglet. Will those that support these names, or others, be kind enough to write down what significance these names have to our historyor people- what the subdinomination shall be, and possible shorthand- just like this thread called for.

Lyton is loosing in the poll, but besides Guapo and Eaglet nothing elese even halfway there has been introduced and their connections to our fair civs are at least unclear to me.

I also call on Donal to be more involved, and darn it, I said it before, if nothing contructive comes out- then our Minister of economy should simply name it himself- darn these fickle mobs!

Panag :
In the "Apo-Dankos-Lyton" project, we already gave a name to "cents" : they are called "Apos", being the subdivision of a Lyton.
No need to add a further subdivision (an Apo is cheap enough already), esp. not one from a RL name.

BTW, there is a poll currently running on the issue : http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=58886

Off the top of my head...
...........from a potential History of Apolotonian Currency...

The 'Eaglot' was so named because of the prominent engraving of a swooping Jungle Eagle on the face of the coin. One of Apolotonia's first extensive currencies, the Jungle Eagle was chosen as this "King of the Sky" was considered a good luck omen by the Apolotonian soldiery. After the declaration and subjication of the arrogant nation (sorry slipped into Jesse Jackson mode) of France, the Jungle Eagle seemed an appropriate icon for the Apolotonian coin as they were rapidly becoming popular 'pets' for Apolotonians who used them to hunt the local infestations of Banana Rats...........
