Yarphese Huo

The Yarphese Huo is the current currency of the Grand Yarphese Republic. It is currently worth approximately $US 0.128, but it's value with respect to the US dollar is greatly increasing due to its fixation to the price of the combination of twenty cubic dekameters of wood, a liter of cardamom, an liter of cinnamon, a kilogram of basil, fifteen grams of gold, and eighteen grams of rhodium multiplied by a coefficient. It is one of the world's most stable currencies.
