Ryo headed down from the top balcony of the ship to the level below (which was the level which Ryo first walked on when coming onto the boat.) There weren't many people on the boat, a few of Master Chen's men who were sailors.

 Wages and Currency
It was the rational currency policy of the 19th century that introduced solid small change that enabled the working population to spend their wages without losses.
The common currency of everyday life comprised chiefly old twelfth-century pennies (hoards make it clear that they stayed in circulation) as well as the half-penny and quarter-penny coins (which numismatic indices indicate to have been minted only in very small quantities).
In the paper for the Wages and Currency symposium I propose to trace the development of the various monetary spheres of medieval Venice with special attention to how the state was able to impose and enforce the separate circulation on the various sectors of the economy: domestic, colonial and international.

The exhibit is presented as an essay on the historical development of the paper currency during that period, illustrated with examples of the notes and supplementary information about them.
Ordinances creating a new currency were issued; the primary unit was the gold yen, equal to the old ryo.
This simultaneous termination of the national banks' authority to issue notes and the demonetization of the government notes issued prior to 1885 meant that the currency was finally unified under one issuer--the Bank of Japan--on one standard--full gold convertibility.

For one thing, a "ryo" is extremely difficult to equate with one "yen" as we're dealing with quite a different age.
The ryo, for example, can be a unit of weight which is divided into sub-units differently depending on whether one is measuring gereral weight, the weight of medicinal materials, gold and silver, or denominating currency.
From the Meiji period, yen and ryo came to have the same meaning in common parlance (not in legislation).

The Republic's currency was, before inflation all but destroyed its value, decimalized, one ryò (りょー) being divided into 100 sen (せん) or 1000 rin (りん).
The first step was rationalizing such areas as time-keeping (the new calendar, as well as a metric division of the day), currency (decimalization of the currency), and language (elimination of kanji, brief cyrillic experiment).
They continued onward in their goal of "bringing reason and order to the Japanese culture", attacking "superstition" (as they referred to religions).

His way of putting it added an interesting twist to my question, because then it would seem as if the Open Source "market," so to speak, is a market that has its own currency (reputation), and the real problem is that our currency has very little value compared to hard currency.
That puts this problem back into the realm of a monetary economy, and so the problem we face might be similar to the kinds of problems many developing nations face.
