Coinage & Currency of the Realm

Coins
Maggot..........1....................copper
Spider............2 (tumag)......copper
Goblin............5 maggots.....nickel
Orc................10 maggots....nickel
Crow.............20 maggots....silver
Warg............50 maggots.....silver
Troll.............100 maggots....gold
Wraith............2 trolls...........gold
Balrog.............5 trolls..........gold

Paper Currency & (very rare) coins
Dragon...............10 trolls..........mithril
Double Dragon...20 trolls..........mithril

note: this currency is no good outside Mordor, and must be exchanged at the border to the Gondorian Empire, at the rate of 20 trolls to the (supposedly equivalent) One Elessar of the Realm of Gondor.

And here are a couple websites that you will want to familiarize yourselves with:

BliddyUnnergrind (BU)

....and....

Gawfirsakin-Piblik-Transpit (GPT) System.

2nd of the two shows the chaotic mess at Caer Pairadocks, which is misnomered as Whitehall on this ridiculous map. The blue line is the line of breakers of the Nurnien sea, which has come to be called the Tem, for some unknown and surely equally ridiculous reason. Therefore, anything below that blue line (on the map) doesn't really exist in Mordor, but can be seen vaguely as wraithlike shadows from the shore. So if you try to take the BliddyUnnergrind, or, BU, into that district, you will wind up at the shore, unless you click the heels of your shoes twice, wish really hard, and say "the magic words", then you might actually manage to get there, and drown instead.

By the way, the green spaces on these maps have not (and will not!) be assigned to Mordor, so they appear in Mordor not as open parks, but as off limits areas of toxic waste.

Edit: I changed it to BliddyUnnerground - a Londonese rendering of Bloody Underground, which I hope is clear enough.....
