The value of [[Currency | Starting in 2010, the Royal Bank of Calsahara began printing paper banknotes. These notes were called "bulgur" after the bulgur wheat that grows so plentifully on the [[Carrizo Plain]]. The value of [[Currency of Calsahara|Calsaharan Bulgur]] was pegged to the value of wheat, which resulted in a pitifully low valuation. To compensate, the banknotes were printed in extremely high denominations, from 1 million bulgur to 100 million bulgur. | ||
After Westarctican forces took control of Calsahara's territory, the currency was changed to Colonial Bulgur and responsibility for printing new notes was assumed by the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]]. Minor changes were made to the designs on the notes, but they remain pegged to the value of wheat with a high level of inflation. | After Westarctican forces took control of Calsahara's territory, the currency was changed to Colonial Bulgur and responsibility for printing new notes was assumed by the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]].
