I'd be happy to explain. Have you been told anything about it so far?

[arufonsueruriku]

No...nothing at all...

And that would be really great if you could explain it to me!

[sister_samurai]

Sure! The system is based on a set of differently colored coins, with each color carrying a different value. Were you ever shown any of the City guides written for newcomers? This one is very informative, and has a nice table to help explain approximately how much each color is worth:

One Orange = price of one cup of coffee.

Red=1/10 of an Orange.
Orange=10 Reds.
Yellow=5 Oranges =5 cups of coffee.
Green=10 Oranges=10 cups of coffee.
Blue=50 Oranges=50 cups of coffee.
Violet = 100 Oranges =100 cups of coffee.
Indigo=500 Oranges = 500 cups of coffee.

It's nice to meet you too, Yumiko!

Um...about a week ago...

[sister_samurai]

Have you been finding things okay?

[arufonsueruriku]

Yeah! I've been getting around alright...I know a few people here and they've been helping me.

[sister_samurai]

That's great. Friendly faces make things loads easier.

[arufonsueruriku]

Yeah...they do...

But thank you again Yumiko!
