| Currency | The monetary unit is the Camel. The
value of the Camel is fixed against the Christiana Crown
at 2  = 1 Christiana
Crown.The Camel was originally defined likewise as the
price for a normal camel as an animal and a tenthousandth
of this value as a coin. The former, the "big"
Camel, was abbreviated "Cm", the latter, or
"small" Camel, "cm" or The double definition of the Camel has caused
misunderstandings in the international financial world;
the necessary attention as to which unit (Cm or cm) was
used with prices or statistics stated a problem for our
fast-living world. Therefore, the monetary unit of the
Dromeedaar (DM) has been introduced instead of the
"big" Camel, 1 Dromeedaar amounting to 10,000
Camel. You are free to write CM, Cm, cm or There are coins of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and
