Zorkmid

A Zorkmid is a single unit of currency. It is also the base unit for measuring the weight of objects.

"Gold piece" and "Zorkmid" are used interchangably throughout the game. For example, when you pick up money lying on the floor, you receive the message, "# gold piece(s)", but when you pick up an item in a shop, you receive the message, "x- an [item] (unpaid, # zorkmids)".
