COIN PRESS AND MONEY PRINTING HOUSE OF THE FREE STATE

Overview

  • Location: Civic Ring, New Kourou
  • Address: NE Talara Road 3
  • Surroundings: Situated among early government and administrative offices near the Settler's Council Hall, this facility played a crucial role in establishing the financial autonomy of the Free State of Settlers.

The Coin Press and Money Printing House was the official institution responsible for producing and distributing the Kourou, the currency of the Free State of Settlers. Operating during the Beta Age, this institution minted copper coins and printed paper bills, marking a key step in the Free State’s economic independence and infrastructure development.

Architectural Significance

Construction Material: Reinforced hull plating from the Last Frontier with a fully enclosed, windowless design for maximum security. Floors: 1 Design Purpose: Focused on containment, security, and mechanical operation; built like a vault to deter tampering or infiltration.

Unlike other administrative buildings of the time, the Money Printing House was purposefully austere and nearly impenetrable, symbolizing the critical importance of trust and security in economic matters.

Key Facilities within the Coin Press and Money Printing House

Main Hall:

  • Printing Floor: Equipped with basic but effective printing presses repurposed from spaceship components. Used to print Kourou paper bills.
  • Coin Molding Chamber: Forging area where copper coins were minted and stamped with Free State insignia.
  • Material Storage Room: Contained copper reserves, ink, and paper stock.
  • Supervisor’s Office: Administrative control hub overseeing press operations and recordkeeping.

Security Measures

The Coin Press and Money Printing House was one of the most tightly secured facilities in New Kourou during the Beta Age:

  • Constant Guard Presence: Two armed Guarding Troopers were stationed at the only entrance 24/7.
  • Single-Entry Architecture: The building had no windows and only one reinforced door, minimizing vulnerability.
  • Entry Screening: Every staff member was thoroughly searched upon entry and exit by the on-duty guards.
  • Weapon Prohibition: Carrying weapons inside the building was strictly forbidden—even for off-duty troopers or staff.

Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters

This facility can serve as a pivotal location in campaigns involving economic sabotage, counterfeiting, or financial conspiracy. Players might:

  • Attempt a high-risk infiltration to forge money or steal copper reserves.
  • Investigate missing coin batches or counterfeit bills.
  • Protect the site during an attack from economic dissidents.
  • Uncover corruption within the supervisor's office or money allocation records.
