Duikan
The official currency of Northudankton is the Duikan, which is used as legal tender for all transactions. It represents the economic backbone of the nation and holds a significant place in Northudankton's identity and pride. The symbol for the Duikan is Ɖ.
Duikans are yellow paper bills that come in six denominations: 1s, 5s, 10s, 20s, 50s and 100s. Each legal bill is printed on the front with a photo of Kabaar Jon, the King of Northudankton, and is both stamped and signed on the back by the Monarch themselves. This gives each bill a personal touch and ensures that they are official Northudankton currency.
The Duikan has gone through several design changes over the years. The previous notes, dating back to 2017, 2018, and 2019, had different names and designs. However, the current design of the Duikan has been in place since 2022 and is likely to remain for the foreseeable future. The issuance name is determined by the year and its quarter. 2023 B was issued in the second quarter of the year 2023.
The Duikan is widely used in Northudankton for both everyday transactions and larger purchases. It is accepted at all official Northudankton businesses and can be exchanged for other currencies at a rate determined by the King. The Duikan has also become a symbol of national pride for Northudankton citizens, who often use it to show their support for the nation.
The Duikan is a crucial part of Northudankton's economy and is closely tied to its political and social structures. As the nation continues to grow and develop, it is likely that the Duikan will remain a key component of its identity and success. All valid Duikans are both stamped and signed on the back by the Kabaar before distribution.
2023 B
On 11 June 2023, the Northudankton National Bank introduced an updated version of the Duikan, known as the Duikan 2023 B banknote. This particular release was designated for the second quarter of 2023. The new design incorporated significant modifications to enhance the currency's aesthetics and symbolism. The Duikan 2023 B had text revisions and an updated image of the Kabaar to emphasize leadership and reflect Northudankton's spirit.
The introduction of the Duikan 2023 B demonstrated the commitment of Northudankton to evolve and adapt while staying true to its cultural heritage. The currency not only serves as a medium of exchange but also symbolizes the values, traditions, and national pride of the Northudankton people.
2024 A
The 2024 A series Duikan, unveiled by the Northudankton National Bank on 12 January 2024, commemorates "The Year for Lottie - I Love you Lod," a personal tribute from the Kabaar to the cherished late princess within the micronation, Princess Lottie. This series is distinct for featuring Princess Lottie Dah Freeman alongside The Kabaar, reflecting a period of mourning and remembrance within the heart of the leadership. This series transcends mere currency to become a vessel of collective grief, a tribute to Princess Lottie's enduring legacy, and a symbol of the Kabaar's enduring love. This issuance solidifies the Duikan's status as a cultural artifact, celebrating Northudankton's narratives and the Kabaar's affectionate bonds.
