Yep, this is my first chapter. So what?
I may not know much about finances, but giving every one of your citizens 5,000,000,000,000 dollars at birth is not very sustainable. Do they just spawn billions of dollars out of nowhere?
But that's not the only problem with the elvin money system, and it's not the one I'm going to focus on. As far as we know, there is only one denomination of currency, the luster, which is worth 1,000,000 dollars.
Can you see how frustrating that would be? What if you had to buy something that was only worth 50 dollars?
I typed 50/1,000,000 into a calculator to find out what fraction of a luster that would be, and I got 5.0e-5. Can you imagine an elf just buying some groceries or something and getting charged 5.0e-5 lusters? The bank accounts would be a nightmare.
Not to mention salaries. They'd get paid tiny fractions of a luster every day.
Having the only denomination in your currency be worth 1,000,000 dollars just doesn't work.
