Bira (฿) is an item and the main currency of the Magical Vacation series.

Profile

Bira is a small gold-colored coin with the symbol ฿ on either face.

In Magical Vacation and Magical Starsign, players can obtain bira through several means. The most common ways are by defeating enemies in battle, finding it in chests, or selling items. Bira is solely used to purchase items from shops, brokers, and other salespeople across the world.

Bira was originally introduced as unified currency that could be exchanged across the universe. It became the primary currency of countries on many planes, which saw the discontinuation of most existing currencies. The Light Plane's ganick gold coin, for example, faded away with the advent of bira; however, certain currencies were still used in some countries alongside bira, such as milori silver coins and rasimov silver coins on the Fire Plane and Wind Plane respectively.[1]

Trivia

  • According to MagiVaca ni Matsuwaru Uwasa, 1 bira equates to ¥10 JPY (~$0.7 USD).
  • The symbol for bira, ฿, is the same as the baht, the official currency of Thailand.

Nomenclature
