Vyvlander mynig

Template:Infobox Currency Vyvland The Mynig (pronounced /myːniʝ/, alternatively spelt munig) is the official currency of Vyvland, printed and minted by the Vyvluder Myn (Vyvlander Mint) in Vlud. It is equivalent to roughly $3, although this varies with exchange rates. It has been in use consistently since reunification, and before that had been the currency of South Vyvland since 1959, while North Vyvland used the kron. Monetary policy and the issuing of the currency is controlled by the Greetbank, Vyvland's central bank.

The mynig is subdivided into 100 penengs, whose symbol is d. The mynig's name comes from the same root, *myne-, as myn, the Vyvlander word for mint, and moneig, menaing change or coins. Peneng comes from the Proto-Germanic panningaz, cognates of which include English penny and German Pfennig. Previous to the mynig's introduction as the currency of South Vyvland, it was used as a general word for currency or unspecific coins of the kron. Bronze coins are minted in a copper alloy, while silver coins are minted in cupronickel. The banknotes have been made from polypropylene, a tough polymer, since 2006.

History

South Vyvland used the mynig to distance itself from the North, which used the traditional Vyvlander kron (named after the crown which appeared on its obverse) as the kron carried then-undesirable monarchist connotations. The mynig was introduced as the national currency of all of Vyvland upon reunification in 1983, when a currency which did not carry the royalist sentiments of kron (crown), the North Vyvlander currency, was desired. A compromise was introduced whereby the old southern name, mynig, would be used as the name of the currency, however it would be equivalent to 10 krons in value. To this day, there are still calls for the reintroduction of the kron.
