The Brillian Florrin (sign: Fl, code: EBF) is the official currency used in Brilliania since 1983. It is subdivided into 100 mocsu. The reintroduction of the Florrin in 1945 after hyperinflation caused by recovery from the Continental War was a crucial step in revitalizing the Brillian economy. The Florrin is free-floating and not pegged by any foreign currency unit.
History
The Florrin was reintroduced again in 1917, after the Koroa experienced massive hyperinflation. The transition to a free market economy and high levels of forgery harmed the currency at first, with inflation rates peaking at 40% in 1919.
Currency restrictions
It is illegal to export Brillian Florrin coins and banknotes. Tourists are mandated to exchange back to their own currency before leaving. There is a fine of 3.000 Fl (in the tourist's local currency) if a tourist gets apprehended for trying to export Brillian currency. Special currency sets are available for numismatic purposes, which the MAF sells at limited amounts each year.
Most establishments in large often accept foreign currencies, although exchange rates may be inflated when paying in foreign currency or a "foreign currency service charge" of around 10% may be added to the bill.
Coins and banknotes
The current series of banknotes were introduced in 2018 as part of a rebranding of governmental offices. All banknotes use low-poly designs and the Federale font which is the official font of the Government. The banknotes have around 10 to 16 features to prevent fraud and make them more accessible for visually impared people.
