-Economics cult, overall vibe is "what if Adam Smith was also Pythagoras?"

-Coins are stamped with blessings and proverbs, which gain power as they circulate; thus, it is their sacred duty to encourage as much trade as possible
-(Possibly the idea of circulating blessings came from some other cult they absorbed)

-(Coin imagery/slogan ideas?)
-Hand pointing upward, turning into a swirl at the bottom?
-What metals do they use? Do those have magical significance too?

-When questioned about motives or methods, they only say "we respond rationally to incentives"
