Blokkots

Blokkots are a fictional currency used in the world-building setting of the Valorian Federation, a federation of city-states in the northern seas of an imagined continent. The name is presented as a synthetic unit intended to reflect modular value across diverse economies. Issuance and governance are attributed to the Central Bank of Valoria, which manages monetary policy, currency issuance, and financial regulation for the federation. In circulation are coins and banknotes; denominations commonly cited include 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 blokkots. Coins are described as copper-nickel, while banknotes are printed on high-strength paper with polymer elements for durability. The blokkots operate on a fiat standard, with the Central Bank setting policy rates to influence inflation, growth, and exchange rates with neighboring economies. The currency is widely used in urban commerce, with digital wallets and QR-based payments becoming standard in most places.

Economic history within the fiction notes periodic reform episodes; a major consolidation of local currencies into blokkots occurred after a regional monetary accord in the early 21st century of the story timeline, followed by gradual integration with adjacent markets. In cultural terms, blokkots have appeared in literature, art, and music as symbols of urban modernity and economic resilience. See also currency, monetary policy, fiat currency, and digital payments.
