Profile
Bira is a small bronze coin with the symbol ฿ on either face.
In Magical Vacation and Magical Starsign, the player can obtain bira through several means. The most common ways are by defeating enemies in battle, finding it in chests, or selling items. Bira is solely used to purchase items from shops, brokers, and other salespeople across the world.
History
Bira was originally introduced to the universe as a common, unified currency. It became the primary currency of several countries on many planes, which saw the discontinuation of most existing currencies. The Light Plane's ganick gold coin, for example, faded away due to the advent of bira; however, certain currencies were still used in some countries alongside bira, such as milori silver coins and rasimov silver coins on the Fire Plane and Wind Plane respectively.[1]
Trivia
- According to Magical Vacation rumors, 1 bira equates to ¥10 JPY (~$0.7 USD).
- The symbol for bira, ฿, is the same as the baht, the official currency of Thailand.
