The Radin is the official currency of the Grand Duchy of Radictistan. It is divided into one hundred smaller units called cents. The Radin is issued as both coins and banknotes. Coins are produced by the Royal Mint while notes are produced by the Bank of Radictistan itself.

The base color is white with features on the note varying in color as a means of identifying the face value.
