In shortA currency with nostalgia / Why twelve / Exchange rates / What it means for you.
1. A currency with nostalgia
We started with dollars, then realized every finance report was improved by saying "twelve eggs". The Egg was born at an offsite.
2. Why twelve
Twelve divides evenly by 2, 3, 4, and 6. It is the most practical number for splitting a bill between hens.
3. Exchange rates
One Egg is pegged to 1.00 USD, subject to the strictly enforced rule that no one actually accepts them.
4. What it means for you
Nothing. All prices are in dollars. But the dashboards are nicer when the totals say "eggs".
