Katy

The kat (Katy in Katian, Symbol: Ҝ,Code: KTK) is the official currency used in Katia. The Kat is a currency pegged to the U.S. dollar; the exchange rate is usually KTk 20 = USD 1.

Etymology
The name katy was an adaptation from the name of the country, Katia. From 1830 (adoption of the currency) to 1945, the currency was called kat, which implied that the correct plural was katsí. However, since people usually rejected this plural and said katz instead, in 1946, the Katiaka Nahkayogakuiru (The Katian Institute of Cultural Studies), which is the authority in charge of regulating the Katian language, adopted the singular katy in order for the plural to accomodate to the language's morphological rules.

Colloquial use
In the provinces of Senkietam, Zétlamu and Ramkyutya, the word kie (the name of the letter K in Katian) often replaces the word katz in colloquial speech, although this does not usually happen in other provinces, which always use the word katz.

On the other hand, people all over the country use the names of animals in order to refer to the banknotes they use. This habit was popularized by a song by Zóhan Napski which said: "Mea sumikfimu pysíení soubanz ta kaumi ide sora ni!"

 I would like to have a thousand eagles to buy a house in the sky!

In this quote, an eagle refers to a Ҝ1000 banknote, since this banknote features a portrait of an eagle, representative of the Katian god, Kyarustanas. Here is a list of the colloquial name each banknote receives:
