White jade is the true money of Creation, with roots in the Old Realm. It was used in the Order-Conferring Trade
Pattern to stabilize the world against the Wyld.
Because it is in some ways the bedrock of Creation and most of it is harvested at the mountain at the center of the
world, no part of Creation is so far away from the source as to increase the cost of acquiring it. In this way, it has
superior value as currency than, say, red jade, which is more common in the south and more expensive and difficult to
acquire in the north.
From the core book, Panoply chapter, it's very clear that a mina of jade - roughly one pound - is worth a Resources 3
purchase, and that a talent of jade - that is, 64 minae - is worth a Resources 4 purchase. That factor of 64 is the basis
for this system.
Jade Table
one talent = 8 bars = 64 minae = 128 shekels = 1024 obols
one bar = 8 minae = 16 shekels = 128 obols
one mina = 2 shekels = 16 obols = 64 bits
one shekel = 8 obols = 32 bits
one obol = 4 bits

Silver
The Guild popularized the use of silver in place of jade as the currency of the threshold. A given mass of silver is worth
roughly one fifth an equivalent mass of jade.

one talent = 4 dirhams = 64 pounds = 1600 dinars
