Gericault m0id	Posted - 2005.03.30 18:08:00 - [1] Sorry if this has already been discussed, haven't found the topic 1 USD = 100 cents 1 EUR = 100 euro cents 1 GBP = 100 pence 1 ISK = ??? Any suggestions?
Nyphur	Posted - 2005.03.30 18:14:00 - [2] Edited by: Nyphur on 30/03/2005 18:14:09 Originally by: Gericault m0id 1 GBP = 100 pence 1 ISK = ??? ISK is a digital credit system, not a coinage system. So 1 ISK = 10 sets of 0.1 ISK, 100 sets of 0.01 ISK and so forth, but those sets haven't got names.
Trek	Posted - 2005.03.30 18:17:00 - [3] Well, it looks like the "real world" icelandic currency is 1 Krona (ISK) = 100 Eyrir Perhaps we should use this in game too? --- My other ship is a Reaper
Swedish Bob	Posted - 2005.03.30 18:19:00 - [4] 1 ISK = 100 aurar
Philyus	Posted - 2005.03.30 18:20:00 - [5] Source: http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/aurar Kr¾na is the name of the currency used in Iceland . The plural form is kr¾nur. The name, meaning originally "crown", is analogous to that of other Nordic currencies. The ISO currency code is ISK. The Icelandic kr¾na became a separate currency from the Scandinavian krona after dissolution of the Scandinavian Monetary Union at World War I and after gaining sovereignty from Denmark in 1918. Circulation of the Icelandic kr¾na is since 1961 controlled by Selabanki -slands, the Central Bank of Iceland. In 1980 the Icelandic kr¾na was revalued, with 100 old kr¾nur being worth 1 new kr¾na. Technically the kr¾na is composed of 100 aurar (singular eyrir), although in practice coins of less than 1 Kr¾na have not circulated for many years. As of 2003, the following notes and coins (issued since 1980) are legal tender: * Notes: 5000, 2000, 1000, 500, (100, 50, 10 kr¾nur.) * Coins: 100, 50, 10, 5, 1 kr¾nur, (and 50, 10, 5 aurar.) In practice, notes of 100 kr¾nur or less, and coins of less that 1 kr¾na no longer circulate, as they have been withdrawn by the central bank. -------------------- I am easily confused. Leave me alone!

Bawldeux IV	Posted - 2005.03.30 20:37:00 - [7] Edited by: Bawldeux IV on 30/03/2005 20:37:07 1-isk = 1-isk 1-isk = 10 x .01-isk etc, etc... Why even try to equate this to RL currency??? You can't use Rl $$ for ingame items of any sort, PERIOD. SOOOOOO there is no need to equate isk to Rl currency.... ::::::::::::::::::::::::: >>...wanna cookie?<< :::::::::::::::::::::::::
MutationZ	Posted - 2005.03.30 20:37:00 - [8] Can we call them "little iskies" please?

If you're trading shares on LSE you'd be talking about pence most of the time. Equally, it might be reasonable, e.g. in the case of low end minerals, to talk about tritanium that trades at 310 "iskies" or whatever you want to call them
Hastrabull	Posted - 2005.03.30 21:25:00 - [10] Originally by: MutationZ Can we call them "little iskies" please? Hehe i like this one ;) Sell me this WCS for 4 little iskies pleaaassseeee :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

ThePilgrim	Posted - 2005.03.31 12:26:00 - [12] Originally by: Ray Laria look 1isk is equal to 0.0045pence in the uk so there is no need for this post anymore I am really sorry about hijacking this thread to satisfy my own curiosity...but how did you decide that a 'virtual' (even fictional) money has any relation to pence? Or are you relating pence to the Icelandic ISK? Sorry, I just had to ask ====================================== dolce et decorum est pro libertas mori
Yeux Gris	Posted - 2005.03.31 12:39:00 - [13] 01 Isk = 0.01 Rubil 10 Isk = 0.1 Rubil 100 Isk = 1.0 Rubil 1000 Isk = 10 Rubils and so forth :P Who let the cows out?! mOo. mOo. mOo.. mOo mOo...! WTB 8x 280mm Scout Howies. Will pay 20% more than Naga's current price
ThePilgrim	Posted - 2005.03.31 12:43:00 - [14] Originally by: Yeux Gris 01 Isk = 0.01 Rubil 10 Isk = 0.1 Rubil 100 Isk = 1.0 Rubil 1000 Isk = 10 Rubils and so forth :P and wtf is a Rubil exactly? ====================================== dolce et decorum est pro libertas mori
Nyphur	Posted - 2005.03.31 12:44:00 - [15] Originally by: ThePilgrim and wtf is a Rubil exactly? I think he just made up a name. Which is what the original poster wanted.

Yeah...kind of. But Yeux Gris got the equation around the wrong way. We were discussing a denomination smaller than an ISK and NOT bigger. Therefore the whole post made no sense. Anyway Nyphur, I have to agree with you that ISK is a decimalised currency with no smaller denominations...although iskies does sound good ====================================== dolce et decorum est pro libertas mori

Anyway Nyphur, I have to agree with you that ISK is a decimalised currency with no smaller denominations...although iskies does sound good Oh yeah, I didn't even notice that! And yeah, Iskies sounds good, especially since I recall a certain Eve Radio DJ asking for "iskies" all the time. So now we can send him his 0.12ISK or "12 iskies" :P.
Gothmatar Ravenblade	Posted - 2005.03.31 14:28:00 - [19] I would say: 1 ISK = 100 ISZ (InterStellar Zent)
Rod Blaine	Posted - 2005.03.31 14:32:00 - [20] Originally by: Wrangler Please keep to the topic and do not discuss ebay, or similar topics. What topic ? Like this is a topic, rofl. Who cares what 0.1 isk is called. Other then seeing it in your wallet on market transactions you are never ever going to care about any fractional amount of isk in this game. Everything below 1000 isk is rubbish to even the biggest noob. Should we maybe devise names for a million isk, 10 million isk and a hundred million isk then ? nonsense at it's best. _______________________________________________ Yes yes, blogging is passÚ I know.

Evolution... fighters not traders... A small denomination is useful if you're trading large quantities of very cheap products, such as low end minerals, where your marginal profit is tiny (measured in ISKZ or "iskies" or whatever you want to call them).
Rod Blaine	Posted - 2005.03.31 15:16:00 - [22] ah yes, I know that. But in the end. After trading that 50 million trit, do you care wether you get 150.000.000.09 isk or just 150.000.000 ? _______________________________________________ Yes yes, blogging is passÚ I know.

After trading that 50 million trit, do you care wether you get 150.000.000.09 isk or just 150.000.000 ? Nope, it doesn't really matter. But to set up the most profitable trading routes you'd probably want to know whether your marginal revenue is 100 ISZ (1 ISK) or 10 ISZ (0.10 ISK). And I also agree that it's a pointless topic at this stage. I will quote tritanium in ISZ from now on leave it at that STOP!
