Algó's Money And Gems
"I, as a wealthy member of society, have often needed the appraisal of gems and long-term storage of coin. Look no further than Algó's [Money and Gems] if you have need of such services, as he is one of the most forthright and well-respected of his profession. I have often found that he has returned my money with a little bit of interest as a welcome thank-you for doing business, and those who have lended from him say that his prices have been fair." ~ The City of Cities
Purpose / Function
Algó Dépradas is in the business of moneylending and banking, and he has a long bench for doing the mathematics required by such a profession and is skilled in its use. He can store money - providing a voucher for the amount and any interest accrued since the deposit of the coin - and he can also lend money with interest to those who need a loan. He can also change coins if needed, with the exception of gold chars to platinum suns due to the latter's rarity.
Architecture
The building itself is rather squat, with only one level which has both the shop and the personal quarters of Algó Dépradas. A small wooden sign depicting a bag of money hangs in front of the building. Algó's bench is located near the front, with a small table with various gems for sale located in a glass case directly opposite his bench. A door beside his bench leads to the back room where he stores the money he has collected and another door past that leads to his chambers.
