The Orinese Phi, (Oharic: Fī Orīnīzi) is the official currency of Orioni as well as accepted tender in several countries on Eurth. The National Bank of Orioni is responsible for issuing notes and coins in the nation's currency. The currency was adopted in 1893 and is subdivided into 100 Phili. The Phi is the world's fifth-largest reserve currency.
Administration
The National Bank of Orioni dictates and oversees all monetary policy for the currency. The Royal Orinese Mint manages the minting of all coins. The Royal Orinese Banknote Printing Corporation manages the printing of all banknotes. This currency is the only acceptable legal tender for transactions within the country.
Characteristics
One Phi is subdivided into 100 Phili. Unlike other countries there are no denominations of 2, 20, 200 or 2000, etc. The Φ1000 bill is rarely used because it is often associated with crime and money laundering. Criminals who make a lot of money, especially drug dealers, prefer the large denomination: it is easier to transport Φ1000 notes compared to Φ50 or Φ100 notes.)

History
The currency has only existed in its current form since 1893. The Orinese started using money in the 2nd century BCE. Medanese perfumes have been discovered as far away as Aroma, suggesting that the famous Pearl Road was already emerging. A currency was still a novel idea at the time. Previously it was shaped like dolphins, unique in shape, which seems inconvenient. It is interesting that the early Orinese adopted an ingot casting method in the dolphin shape, rather than the traditional round or square coinage of their contemporaries. This shape may also have carried religious significance.
