dollarë

The dollarë is a fictional currency featured in the *Dungeons & Dragons* role-playing game, specifically within the *Forgotten Realms* campaign setting. Introduced in the 1987 *Greyhawk* supplement, the dollarë is a silver coin valued at one silver piece, making it a common medium of exchange in the Realms. The name "dollarë" is derived from the Spanish *dólar*, reflecting the coin’s historical inspiration from Spanish colonial silver dollars.

In the *Forgotten Realms*, the dollarë is widely used across the continent, particularly in regions influenced by human cultures. It is often minted with a central image of a dragon, symbolizing power and authority, though variations exist depending on the issuing kingdom or city-state. The coin’s design and value have remained relatively stable over time, though inflation or economic shifts in certain regions may alter its perceived worth.

The dollarë plays a minor but practical role in the game’s economy, serving as a standard unit for pricing goods, hiring services, and conducting trade. Unlike more exotic currencies in the Realms, such as the gold piece or the copper piece, the dollarë is accessible and widely recognized, making it a convenient choice for players and dungeon masters alike. Its simplicity and familiarity contribute to its enduring presence in *Dungeons & Dragons* lore.
