The erb is the national currency of Shireroth. Around the foundation of Shireroth in 2000 the symbol € (Euro) was adopted for the currency, but no formal name was given to the erb at that time. In ancient times, the erb was backed by copper, but it has since become a type of fiat currency, backed by the power an prestige of the Imperial Republic.

History
During the Seventh Republic, Lukedu using the 'E' shape of the erb as inspiration came up with the name "Erb". This led to some joke about the "hERB" and some other jokes about marijuana, which have been forgotten. The original and technically correct spelling is €rb, incorperating the symbol into the name of the currency. This use has lost popularity due to the annoyance of having to type in the ASCII code to create the symbol or for some the inability to create the symbol on their systems.
The ASCII code to create the Euro symbol (€) is Alt-0128 on windows machines. Some fonts do not support this symbol.
