As a connoisseur of spacemonies, please babble inconherently about the spacemoney Annis used / Enna enforces in her domain until i feel better about losing control of my life.
Okay -- let me tell you about spacemonies.
In the human domain formal money isn't even a thing -- all production, labour, and consumption is managed by edicts of the subjugated witch (as transcribed by Great Hall workers in the Templar Guardianship). The cities are run like enormous school-houses -- you go to the halls to be fed, do your duties, return to the communal houses, say your prayers, and sleep. It's a strict, regimented life for nearly everyone. When people do need to trade or store value, most people accept dried fruit, tea, meal tickets, or trade shifts for various duties.
In Enna's domain people use silver slips -- actually worn down prayer engraving (generic offerings) from long, long ago. In fact, these 'engravings' are the index codes to the books that once filled the enormous complex underneath the city... but the books were all offered up long ago. and all that remains are the checkout tags (though no one remembers their original purpose). When the inhabitants of Enna's domain make offerings (especially at the end of the year when people make offerings en masse) these slips are used to make up the difference between the size of their actual offering and the size of their wish (down to a certain mandatory minimum offering). Unfortunately, these slips are worthless to Enna (she already has all the books) and the slips are reintroduced into the population in various ways. Vicky suspects that this is how Enna's daughters get their spending money, but she doesn't say anything.
