Editing Currency (section)

====Denominations====
Specific exchange rates between each denomination of Westerosi currency have not yet been mentioned in any of the canon works of ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]''. Green Ronin's ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying]]'' game, which contains some canon material but did not receive information directly from George R.R. Martin,<ref>Westeros.org: [https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/34958-the-asoiaf-wiki-thread/&do=findComment&comment=8453392 The ASOIAF wiki thread] (November 23, 2019)</ref> listed the relative values of the coins per the following table.{{Ref|rpg|greenronin}} The values are somewhat supported by statements by Shire Post Mint, which did receive information from Martin and is considered "semi-canon".<ref>Shire Post Mint: [https://www.shirepost.com/products/aerys-stag Aerys II Targaryen Silver Stag]</ref><ref name="star" /><ref name="moon" /> The RPG cautions to use these values as a rule of thumb, because exchange rates between different metals might vary over time.{{Ref|rpg|greenronin}}

The one time that any of these exchange rates was ever somewhat confirmed in the books was in ''[[The Hedge Knight]]'', when [[Duncan the Tall]] sold a [[horse]] for the price of 750 silver stags, and was paid in the form of 3 gold dragons, the rest in silvers (3 x 210 = 630, but 4 x 210 = 840).

Also note that a copper star, which bears the Seven-Pointed Star, is not named such because it is worth seven regular copper pennies, but because it is one seventh of a silver stag. 56 divided by 7 is 8, thus a copper star is worth eight copper pennies.
