Yoyo (/ˈjɔjɔ/ (yao-yao))
While traditional forms of currency are not typically used in Ixuilian tribes, with most of its denizens preferring the art of trading solely through physical goods, known to them as hlast, they do refer to precious metals as Yoyo, and will keep some on hand for dealing with outsiders. Like the other realms, they divide coins into four categories.
Iwol - The most common type of Yoyo, it is made of copper.
Plomga - Made of silver, each Plomga is worth 10 Iwol
Ladlo - Made of gold, each Ladlo is worth 10 Plomga
Ngulaff - The rarest and most valuable Yoyo, each Ngulaff is made of platinum and is worth 10 Ladlo. However, most Ixuilians view hording these coins as foolish and wasteful (with Ngulaff translating to fool's coin), as you can't eat it and it isn't well suited to crafting weapons. They often only have some on hand to placate dragons and other monsters drawn to overly shiny treasure.
Significance
Yoyo are crafted simply and sharp, like spear points, so that they can be used as small piercing weapons should a desperate need arrive. Denizens of Ixuil find great humor in killing trespassers from other realms who seek to exploit Ixuils resources to gain wealth with a form of currency.
