The Rigsdaler (Tynic pronounciation:/risdaːlər/|[ʁisˈd̥æːlɐ], sign: , code: SRD) is the official currency of Sjealand, Hinsey and Thy as well as accepted tender in several countries. The currency is one of the largest and most traded in the world behind the Hitotamian ryo. While usually written as Rigsdaler, the name Rixdollar is sometimes used in english to approach an easier pronounciation because daler and dollar share an etymological origin. Historically the currency can be traced back to the 900's but it has only existed in its current form since 1882 with the post Great War of the North currency reform.

One rigsdaler is subdivided into 100 skillinger, however only 25 and 50 skilling coins are used. The name skilling comes from the Old Haemaslandic word skillingr, meaning coin.
