Valuation (in kurush)



Code d' Odalisque includes a simulated slave economy. Slaves should be assessed, graded and valued. For legal reasons no aspect of Code d’ Ode play should be conducted in a recognized currency. Instead, the simulated economy of Code d’ Ode employs the fictitious currency of “kurush”. One kurush has the value of one hundredth of a troy ounce of silver at any given time.

If a troy ounce of silver = US$50, then one kurush is one hundredth of that. 50c. A typical AAA graded slave (the best) might be valued at approximately 200,000 kurush.

The "kurush" is used in all Code d' Ode slavetrade, including at slave auctions.

(Note that no money ever changes hands. All transactions are effectively commuted to "alms" under the provisions of Code d' Odalisque. Valuations are for play purposes only.)
