Kusian kuseras

The kuśeras (abbr.: kusr; sign: ₭; code: KUS), is the official currency of Kus and has been in use since the 8th century. While physical notes and coins are still used, electronic forms of payment have become increasingly prevalent in recent years. In addition to physical coins and electronic transfers, the Kusian currency, the kuseras, is also issued in banknotes of various denominations. The banknotes come in values of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 500 kuseras. Unlike traditional paper banknotes, Kusian banknotes are made out of plastic material, which increases their durability and longevity.

The banknotes feature a variety of designs, including portraits of historical figures, cultural landmarks, and natural scenery. The latest major revision to the banknote designs took place in 2019, when new security features were added to prevent counterfeiting.

It's worth noting that the kuseras is not a fractional unit of currency, and instead, the exchange rate is typically quoted in relation to the value of gold. As of 2021, the exchange rate for one gram of gold is 147 kuseras.

Etymology
The name "Kuseras" is derived from the Kusian words for "Kusian" (Kuśe-) and the old word for "coin" (Rasas).
