Currency
Different regions of Discworld use different currencies. All shops, banks and services operate in local currency only.
You can get the list of currencies and coin values in game with command "help currency"
If you want to pay for something somewhere, and don't have local currency, you have different choices. Simplest is to change money in money changer. It is not recommended, because rates are always very unfair.
Other option is to change money, using a bank - deposit money in one branch with currency you have,and withdraw in other with currency you are going to spend. You can convert between Ankh-Morpork, Lancre and Djelibeybi money, or from AM to Agatean Empire with only 1-4% comission. converting from Agatean or from/to Genuanis not that easy.
Ideal solution is to avoid converting money at all. For example, you can pay for house rent, club, family, advancement in guild in any currency (if you have a branch of your guild in that region). Also, you can consider learning the art of stealing, so you can "buy" things without money, or paying with money of nearest NPC(s) :)
There are a number of player-built online currency converters.
One of these is on Simidhel's site.
