Oh, and fair launch with no premine.

If this is done, then you will get support, and i'll not only help without charge, but donate to the cause from time to time (as I believe others will with a fair and friendly coin like this)

Anyway, MPD would work (Morporkian Dollars) - the term is used in the book and US isn't the only country with dollars - I think it's only gonna cause trouble if you call them simply dollars.

Hi Smiley

Coins like this may find a place on the sci-fi exchange, I like the idea of fan-coins. They may not revolutionize the world, but they're cool and fun to trade with (needs cool logo and graphics like Cthulhu Coin/Offerings).

I love Terry Pratchett, and will give this a thought or two Cheesy

I've even been known to do a decent logo myself - will post if I have any ideas.

Anything helps. I don't aim to get rich with this coin(but certainly won't complain if I do) Logo ideas are ALWAYS appreciated. I am nowhere near a graphic designer, so all of my logos look like a monkey flung poo at a wall from 20ft.

I intend for this to be a team effort

Doesn't Ankh-Morpork use the dollar?

http://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/index.php/Currency

Alternatives ; http://discworld.starturtle.net/lpc/playing/documentation.c?path=/concepts/currency

I think Rhinu Coins would also be a good contender.

Huge Terry Pratchet Fan. would mine for that alone.

So either Rhunu or the Ankh-Morpork Dollar. Ankh Morpork has several denominations of currency however, so it doesn't have to be the dollar.

Quote
Ankh-Morpork   Penny, Ten-pence, Half-Dollar, Dollar, Ten-Dollar, Royal and Crown coins.

Away with your logic! Yes, A-m uses the Dollar, but we might run into issues calling it that.  That's th reason I was looking for a very "Pratchett" name for the coin without using the actual currency name.

I'm a rabid Pritchett fan as well, and also aim to mine almost strictly  for that reason. I actually really like Rhinu for the name, that way it could be solid gold, and not mostly pot metal.

Quote
The AM$ (Ankh-Morpork dollar) is equal to 100 pennies (pence). Under Ankh-Morporkian tradition, ten pence can be referred to as a shilling, twenty-five pence as half a ton, and fifty pence as a nob/a ton/half a bar/a knocker.

I want to create a coin based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld series.  Any other fans out there?  What would you like to see in this coin?  I'm looking for both series ideas as well as ideas that make it very Morporkean. Feel free to toss out names as well.  If we get several popular names, I'll start a poll to decide what we call it.  I"m doing this for fun  and because I like the idea, so any input is welcome.
