Currency

Currency is a recurring feature in the Final Fantasy series. Aside from the popular Gil, which has seen an appearance in every Final Fantasy game and is the currency most often used, there are also several other alternative forms of currency, which can appear in specific areas or regions in Final Fantasy games, used either for a specific purpose, or as that region's currency.

GP
in Final Fantasy VII, GP is used as a form of currency in the Gold Saucer. GP is most often won through games in the Wonder Square, or races in the Chocobo Square. It can also be bought from a man who sometimes appears at the entrance to the Gold Saucer, at an exchange rate of 100 Gil to 1 GP. GP can be used to play certain games, rest at the Inn in the Ghost Square, fight battles at the Battle Square, and can also be exchanged for prizes with a woman in the Wonder Square. Item exchange rates are as follows:

* Only one available.

Battle Points
Battle Points, also known as BP, are obtained through winning fights in the Battle Square in Final Fantasy VII. Fights cost 10 GP to participate, and players are awarded BP based on the amount and difficulty of handicaps received, and the number and difficulty of opponents defeated. The BP is lost if the player leaves the Battle Arena without expending all points. The items that can be exchanged for BP are shown below:

Beastcoins
Minted by the Quadav in gold, Goblins in silver, and Yagudo in bronze form, beastcoins are a currency used by Beastmen in Final Fantasy XI. Beastcoins can be dropped or stolen from Beastmen, especially Goblins. Although beastcoins have no immediately noticeable use for the Enlightened Races of Vana'diel, Blacksmiths can melt the beastcoins down to their base metals, allowing for them to be used as materials in smithing.

While circulated mainly only among Beastmen, sometimes during quests or missions, Beastmen or even enlightened individuals request beastcoins from players.

Conquest Points
Conquest Points are earned through defeating opponents in areas subject to Conquest while under the Signet status. The formula for calculating CP earned is as follows: $$(EXP/10) * Regional Modifier $$ Regional Modifier is 1 if the area is under the player's nation's control, or 1.5 if under another nation's or Beastmen control. Conquest Points can be exchanged for a variety of rewards, depending on what Nation the player serves and their Rank within them.

Tabs
Tabs are earned in Fields of Valor and Grounds of Valor. They can be used to purchase Field Support (status enhancements and teleportation services) and Advanced Training (access to Notorious Monsters that allow players to augment their equipment).

Kinetic Units
Kinetic units are used to power waypoint and proto-waypoint teleportation throughout Vana'diel. They can be obtained by completing certain quests and by trading crystals to waypoints and proto-waypoints. Different elemental crystals are worth differing amounts of kinetic units.

Imperial Standing can be traded for Imperial Currency, at a rate of 20 for a Bronze Piece, 100 for a Silver Piece, 200 for a Mythril Piece, and 1,000 for a Gold Piece.

Imperial Standing
Imperial Standing is earned by defeating enemies in Final Fantasy XI: Treasures of Aht Urhgan areas. The rate of earned experience is $$(EXP/10)$$ with certain conditions, such as the Astral Candescence present in Al Zahbi, boosting the rate of Imperial Standing earned.

Guild marks were abolished in patch 1.20 but can still be used to purchase materia until A Realm Reborn is released.

Company Seals
