{{Note|1=The people of Delgar use [[octal math]].
For simplicity, when playing D&D 5E, currency denominations are all converted at 10:1, so 100 cp = 10 sp = 1 gp. Platinum and electrum are not used.
Coin weight is usually inconsequential since most people use paper money for values of 10gp or more.}}
Different currencies are used in different parts of the world, but most of them are pegged to the Belgritian mark due to its near-universal acceptance in global trade. Each currency in wide current circulation is detailed here, as well as some interesting special cases.
== Belgritian and Araxian Marks ==

Belgritian and Araxian marks come in six common denominations:
* '''Copper coins (bits/pixi)''', the smallest unit
* '''Silver coins (drakes/draxi)''', equal to 8 copper bits/pixi each
* '''Gold coins (marks/marxi)''', equal to 16 silver drakes/draxi each
* '''10<sub>8</sub> Mark banknotes''', equal to 8 marks each because Delgarians use base 8 math.
* '''100<sub>8</sub> Mark banknotes''', equal to 64 marks each
* '''1000<sub>8</sub> Mark banknotes''', equal to 512 marks each
Banknotes in larger denominations such as 2000<sub>8</sub> (1024) and even 10,000<sub>8</sub> (4096) exist, but are rarely used.
Use of coins for anything of significant value (10<sub>8</sub> marks or more)
