Current Wealth: 190 Sequins
NOTE: Typically, most of this will not be in hard coin such as Gold or Silver and will involve barter of other luxuries or valuables such as jewellery that you have on your person.
Sequins is a common denominator and what you are exactly spending or gaining in terms of actual currency will vary widely. I wholeheartedly refuse to calculate exchange rates and will assume any purchase is taking this and haggling into account. Did I fix the wealth system? Probably not, but I expect any complaints to come with the disclaimer that you did literally ask for this.
By terms of reference, a mid-level craftsman such as a butcher or common tailor working on wages could expect to earn 0.2 sequins a day. And yes, as a noble your spare change is not far off from near a years wages for most folk.
You have a debt to the Pascae Banks, this will accrue interest.
You have a stake in Tracker Jean’s caravan enterprise, you have voted against accruing interest and will make several rolls to see how successful these additional ventures were. The success of her Wasteland excursion is currently unknown.
