The rixdollar (Aspiranto: regnodolaro; Alexandrian: rixdale; Meckelnish: rîksdâlder; sign: Ʀ) is the currency and legal tender of Kingdom of Meckelnburgh and its constituent states of Meckelnburgh, the Archabbacy of Salem and the Grand Duchy of Iselande. Their Royal Majesty’s Bank of Meckelnburgh (BankMB) issues banknotes, while the Royal Meckelnburgh Mint issues coins, Maundy money, and bullion issues.

The smaller denomination, one-100th of a rixdollar, is an angster (Aspiranto: angstero; Alexandrian: angster; Meckelnish: angster; sign: ). The MOS–4 code of the currency used by banks and financial institutions is MBD. The unofficial codes SMD and ISD refer to issues of Salem and Iselande crowns, respectively.

History

The first currency of the Kingdom of Meckelnburgh was the crown, subdivided into 60 heller. It was first introduced in 1685 AN at the creation of Meckelnburgh. With the ascension of Salem and Iselande to the kingdom, each were given minor coinage rights as users of the crown. The crown was pegged to the Craitish cräite at 1.5 crowns to a cräite.
