Banknotes

Banknotes are the most commonly used form of physical currency in Pelinai, comprising approximately 98% of the Pelinese physical currency supply. Currently printed denominations of Pelinese banknotes include ◎1, ◎5, ◎10, ◎20, ◎50, ◎100, ◎500, and ◎1000; denominations greater than ◎100 are rare and largely reserved for use by the Pelinese government and financial institutions.

Commodity certificates

In order to provide a practical tool to settle international payments and other transactions without the usage of a common reserve currency, the Pelinese hana possesses a limited supply of commodity-backed certificates. These are normally backed by gold bullion, but silver-denominated certificates also exist.
