The Gringotts Coinage System
Unlike decimal-based Muggle money, the Wizarding economy runs on a unique, non-symmetrical system of three precious coins.
Galleon
The largest and most valuable coin, made of gold. Engraved with a serial number identifying the Goblin who minted it. The standard for large purchases.
1 Galleon = 17 Sickles
Sickle
The silver Sickle is the workhorse of the Wizarding world, used for everyday transactions like buying a copy of the Daily Prophet or a butterbeer.
1 Sickle = 29 Knuts
Knut
The smallest denomination, the bronze Knut, is used for minor purchases or as small change. It is the base unit of the entire currency system.
493 Knuts = 1 Galleon

Frequently Asked Inquiries
Answers to common questions regarding wizarding finance and this digital tool.
Is this exchange rate official?
The conversion rate used in this tool is based on a widely cited figure provided by J.K. Rowling in an interview, where she stated one Galleon is worth "about five Great British pounds" (~$6.58 USD at the time). While not canon from the books, it's the closest to an official rate available.
Why does Wizarding money use 17 and 29?
The non-decimal system (17 Sickles to a Galleon, 29 Knuts to a Sickle) was a deliberate choice by J.K. Rowling to make the Wizarding World feel distinct, archaic, and less "sensible" than the Muggle world, adding to its unique charm and character.
Can I suggest another Muggle currency?
This tool focuses on the most commonly requested currencies (USD, GBP, EUR) for simplicity. While we may add more in the future, you can use any online currency converter to translate the USD value from our tool into your local currency.
