Pek Coins
itemCitizen-minted fractional coins called peks, small metal currency devalued by economic policies, fraction of copper clip value.
Pek coins emerge in the chaotic economy of post-apocalyptic Scadrial as citizen-minted fractional currency, representing a desperate innovation amid the collapse of traditional coinage in The Hero of Ages. Devalued far below the standard copper clip due to rampant counterfeiting and inflationary policies, peks symbolize the breakdown of the Lord Ruler's rigid monetary system. Though their introduction marks a brief, gritty adaptation to scarcity, they fade into obscurity as the series progresses toward reconstruction.
