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: ⱥ). The MOS–4 code of the currency used by banks and financial institutions is MBD (Meckelnburgh rixdollar). The unofficial codes SMD and ISD refer to issues of Salem and Iselande crowns, respectively; each constituent country has a local mint and is entitled to mint its own minor currency and commemorative issues.

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.

In 1715 AN, the kingdom replaced the crown with the rixdollar as part of a broad monetary policy, including the abolishment of the peg to the cräite. The new rixdollar was decimalized and became exchangeable with the crown at 1 rixdollar to 1.54 crowns. The smallest denominations were also abolished and cash rounding instituted to 5 angsters. In addition, the mint at Battleferd (D) was closed and the mint at Boulonne (C) was merged with Alexandretta (A)–production of bullion issues moved to Victoria (B).
