# Currency

## What is Currency?

Every realm comes with its own currency.  Currencies are an accounting unit that is under control of the realm admins.  They have no monetary value, Its simply a unit that can mean whatever the realm wants it to mean.&#x20;

Currency can be distributed within your Guild by anyone with admins rights. They have utility when combined with voting; they are used to influence the outcome. The more currency you own the more influence you tend to have in the realm.

Looking at currency balances enables you to discover exceptional members or members whos contributions may have otherwise gone unnoticed.
