| − | In [[Twice Shy]], Rygel had altered crindar coins to 100 crindars by adding a digit, increasing their value by a factor of twelve. This means the original denomination was 8⅓ crindars, and suggests Scarrans use a base-12 number system. The 100 crindar and 8⅓ crindar coins are apparently differentiated only by the engraved denomination, having the same shape (an irregular white-metal hexagon with a red swash on it). |

| − | Why the Scarrans would use values of 100 and 8⅓ for their currency in such a system is not entirely clear, but it’s possible that multiples of 4 (being one third of 12) form a secondary unit in the same way multiples of 5 do to humans. In duodecimal notation, 8⅓ would be written equivalently to 8.4. |
