The monetary system used by the Nephites is briefly explained by Mormon as he recounts the story of Alma and Amulek in the city of Ammonihah. The basic unit is a senine of gold (or a senum of silver, which has the same value). If a value of "1" is attributed to this unit, the monetary system of the Nephites might be summarized as follows: Leah equals 1/8; shiblum = 1/4; shiblon = 1/2; antion of gold = 1 1/2; senum of silver or senine of gold = 1; amnor of silver or seon of gold = 2; ezrom of silver or shum of gold = 4; onti of silver or limna of gold = 7. One senine of gold (or senum of silver) = wages of a judge for one day. The Nephite monetary system was based on a barley standard, with a senine of gold or a senum of silver equal to a measure of barley. (Alma 11:7.)
