monetur

Monetur is a term used in economics and in speculative fiction to denote a standardized monetary unit. In theoretical contexts, monetur serves as a neutral unit of account for measuring prices, money stock, and macroeconomic aggregates without tying values to a specific national currency. The concept helps modelers compare economies, analyze inflation, and study monetary policy in a currency-agnostic framework. In such models, the price level is often expressed as units of monetur per basket of goods, and the money supply is described in monetur terms.

In practice, monetur is not a universally recognized real-world currency. It refers either to a fictional money in a simulated environment or to an abstract unit used for teaching and analysis. When used in simulations or classroom exercises, monetur can be assigned a fixed or dynamic exchange rate against real currencies, or be kept stable to highlight monetary mechanics.

In fiction and world-building, monetur may be the sovereign currency of an imagined realm or civilization. Authors and game designers define its issuance, governance, denominations, and exchange mechanisms within their settings.
