On Redeeming Coins:
Nova Roma offers its official Sestertius Signum
coins at the face value of 1 Sestertus, (50 cents US or the equivalent in
international currency). Nova Roma guarantees to redeem coins at this value so
that they may be used as trade coinage at events, within NR Provincia, trade
with Ordo Equester vendors and more. Coins that have been deliberately defaced
or altered are non-reedemable.
Purposes for having an official coinage:
1. To build an active "trade economy" for Nova Roma.
2. To act as a promotional/collectable item to encourage public interest in Nova
Roma.
3. To be a "physical item" of sovereignty, available to all Citizens.
4. To help provide a Roman atmosphere at live Nova Roma events.
5. To enhance Nova Roma's status as a viable organization/micronation.
6. To help build a "legacy" for Nova Roma. (Coins can last centuries, after all!)
7. To provide a Roman item that can be used as an offering to the deities of the
Religio Romana.
Nova Roma coins will also be made available for purchase and trade at Nova Roma events, and through the official Provinciae.
