===Currency===

Modern Megalodonian currency, the mollar (∑), is form of representative money backed by the Tarrasque standard; the monetary value of the mollar is based on the value of an average tarrasque by weight. 

Tarrasques are elemental magical beasts, their very life essence is tied to the land and its feral magic itself, they live forever, regenerate from any form of injury, do not reproduce and so their numbers remain constant, acting as a great standard of stable currency. 

Tarrasques are held in large conversation parks, where their shed body parts and bodily fluids are farmed and extracted, fetching hefty fortunes on the open market. More esoteric tarrasque keepers have opened ludicrous safaris turning their tarrasques into tourist attractions, offering their brand of entertainment to all Megalodonians and even off-realmers who can pay the price.

These immutable living engines of destruction have been highly prized possessions among Muscle Wizard leaders for centuries, their shed armor hides providing shelter, protection and a means of defense, their meat provide nourishment and their magical blood is a important alchemic and healing reagent, improving vitality and extends lifespans. 
 
They bring so much wealth to city states that many great expeditions of the past were carried out specifically to track down more of such beasts. To this day, their total numbers remain unknown as hundreds are found annually.
 
Very early on in Megalodonia history, the first summit meetings have decreed tarrasque teeth, claws and fangs the standard currency. In more modern times, commodity based money has been replaced by paperback money and coinage encrypted by alchemic seals and runes. Due to the persistence of time honored traditions and customs, the old naming denominations are still in use to this day. Megalodonian money is colloquially referred as "nails" or "nailings".
