abstract
| - The Kansouri Purpie (symbol: Ł, code: KMP) is the official currency of Kansouri, first introduced in September 2007 to replace at par the Loon, Kansouri's original currency, and encourage closer day-to-day trade with other nations in the Purple Trading Sphere. It is subdivided into 100 Jays (ĵ). The Kansouri Purpie continues to use the symbol from their original currency, the Loon (Ł). Sometimes the sign for Pounds Sterling (£) is used; although it is not the official symbol, government documents have recently preferred this symbol to Ł. As part of the Commemorative Coinage Act of 2010 (LB1503), "£" was legally recognized as a symbol for indicating Purpies, allowing retailers to use the character without risk of penalty for false advertising. The currency's RSO 4217 code KMP literally translates into "Kansas-Missouri Purpie", in line with the Loon's code KML. Kansouri's Mint and Engraving Bureau was originally located in the industrial West Bottoms of KaySee-EmmOh. However, persistent fears of flooding, like that seen in 1951 and 1993, prompted the government to relocate its headquarters and production facilities to just west of the Liberty Memorial.
