tennur

tennur is a fictional currency used in speculative fiction and role-playing settings to illustrate monetary systems. The exact value and subdivision vary by author, but most settings employ a decimal framework in which the ten nur is subdivided into 100 subunits, sometimes called lerks or cents depending on the world. Coinage is described as consisting of small and mid-sized denominations, with larger units existing as banknotes or digital credits to facilitate larger transactions.

In world-building terms, a central bank or monetary authority issues ten nur and sets minting standards, inflation targets, and exchange rates with neighboring currencies. The ten nur often serves as a narrative tool to explore economic concepts such as price formation, wage dynamics, taxation, and market integration, as well as to reflect cultural values through coin imagery and monetary policy.

tennur is widely used across fantasy and science fiction settings, but it is not a real-world currency. Its exact implementation—subunits, denominations, and exchange regimes—varies by work, allowing authors to tailor economic detail to their story or game system.
