Titan (currency)

Titans are the primary currency in Jerako: The World That Is. They are named in honor of the Titan race which is extinct by that point in Jerako's history. Titans are made of titanium and come in various shapes and sizes corresponding to their worth, with the base unit being round, the 2 being a heart shape, the 5 being triangular, the 10 being square, the 20 being pentagonal, and other denominations having additional polygonal shapes. Titanium was chosen partly for its durability and partly to fit with the name.

Development
Titans were chosen as a non-standard material of coinage that has not seen use in other media. The origin stems from the concept of space money from prior writing due to the low likelihood of wear while maintaining familiarity and portability above the QUID, and the name is due to character limitations in RPG Maker for the PlayStation One. "Titanium" didn't fit in the 6 characters allotted to currency name, but "Titans" did. Titans were a natural fit for Jerako as a currency that felt forward-thinking without being alien, with the 2 being added later in development for lore reasons and to honor the American $2 bill.
