Blockmark

The Blockmark, formally known as the United Nations Standard Blockmark or simply the Old Blockmark, is a former currency universal to the entire server. It was used by all nations up until July 16th, 2015 when it crashed and was replaced with multiple temporary currencies.

Introduction
The Blockmark was brought up by the EssentialsEco plugin as a successor to the Essentials Dollar in early 2013 as an integration into the ChestShop plugin, then used primarily by the Dictatorship of Foxton. The currency's exchange rate at the time was $1 to B1, but was slowly becoming more worthless as more was paid out. By 2015, the currency was dominant in a total of 17 counties throughout its lifetime.

Inflation & Crash
Gronlandic diamond mines owned by The United States of Blastopolis had opened and began raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Blastopians. Due to insufficient Blockmark existing to pay out the diamonds, more and more had to be printed. In just 4 months, the amount of Blockmark in circulation boomed from B15,280,050 to B23,000,000. Furvatzka, unable to keep up with the inflating currency, decided to begin circulation of the Furvatzkan Ruble, followed by Nova Imperium Romanum's transfer to the Denarius.

Blastopolis and Iceland were the last to stop using the Blockmark and began their own currencies. At this point, the Blockmark was rendered as worthless and no countries except Vietnam had it in use as a currency.

The Blockmark was soon replaced with the New Blockmark and is only issued to United Nations countries upon request.
