Money
Shells (see sequin), and coins of bronze (see obol), silver (see drakhma) and gold (see /mina) are used as money in Gehennum.
To summarise the relationship between the currency items:
10 sequins | = 1 obol | 1 svu |
6 obols | = 1 drakhma | 6 svu |
20 drakhmas | = 1 mina | 120svu |
An obol will buy a cooked meal, neither of the best quality nor the worst, at a tavern with pretensions to fashion, or will buy enough raw food to feed a man for a day.
