GPB: put a bear in that is on the currency

[[File:BEAR.jpg|alt=icon by Bernd Lakenbrink|left|thumb]]
'''BEAR''' is the animal ruler and historical antagonist of WHAAAT!? republican lore.

The BEAR became ruler after the original WHAT incident through the [[Succession Loophole]]. The BEAR ruled for an extended period and attempted to integrate itself into WHAAAT!? law and society.

WHAT eventually returned from the mountains and defeated the BEAR on November 7. The resulting [[Bear Rug]] became a national relic.

The Constitution preserves the BEAR episode as a foundational element of WHAAAT!? political history and humor.

Currency of Whaaat!?

2026-09-21T22:39:08Z

GPB: /* Currency specimens */ added the colorful ones

The '''currency of Whaaat!?''' is a cereal-based monetary system of the [[Glorious Revolutionary Microrepublic of Whaaat!?]]. Currency is expressed in standardized [[Bowl (currency)|bowls]] of cereal and fractional Whaaatloos.

The system is administered by the [[Ministry of Finance]] in coordination with the [[Ministry of Cereal]].

== Currency specimens ==
[[File:Whaaatbux-9-19-26.jpg|left|thumb|500x500px|Typical colorful currency for everyday transactions]]
[[File:Whaaatloo-currency-large.jpg|thumb|left|450px|Large-denomination Whaaatloo currency. (during inflationary periods)]][[File:Whaaat-currency-reverse.jpg|thumb|left|450px|Reverse of the Whaaatloo currency design.]]

<div style="clear:both;"></div>

== The Whaaatloo ==

The '''Whaaatloo''' (symbol: '''₩''') is the basic monetary unit of Whaaat!? and is expressed in bowls of Wheat cereal.

'''₩1 = one standard bowl = approximately 400 mL (1¾ US cups).'''

Sweet Corn, Corn, and Chocolate currencies are valued as multiples or fractions of the Whaaatloo. Based on representative cereal prices, the [[Ministry of Finance]] uses approximately '''US$0.60''' as the nominal reference value of ₩1.

== Cereal currencies ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Currency class
! Principal use
! Examples
|-
| '''Sweet Corn'''
| Entertainment, luxury goods, and hard foreign exchange
| Frosted Flakes; Cap'n Crunch
|-
| '''Corn'''
| Regular day-to-day unofficial transactions
| Corn Flakes; Corn Chex
|-
| '''Wheat'''
| Government and official transactions
| Wheaties; Shredded Wheat
|-
| '''Chocolate'''
| Health care, drugs, and physical therapy
| Cocoa Pebbles; Count Chocula; Cocoa Puffs
|}

== Exchange rates ==

The [[Cereal Exchange Authority]] (CEXA) establishes and adjusts exchange rates among the cereal currencies.

CEXA market movements are generally expressed in '''flakes''', or in '''pebbles''' when discussing the Chocolate health-care economy. Traders must pass the [[Cereal Aptitude Test]] with at least 70% accuracy before receiving a trading-floor seat.

== Government rounding ==

Wheat is the official government currency. A standard Wheat bowl may consist of approximately 200 Wheaties flakes or two full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits. Government transactions may require payment in whole biscuits, with fractional obligations rounded upward under the [[Whole Biscuit Rule]].

GPB: newline

The '''Ministry'''

'''The '''Ministry of Finance''' is the government ministry responsible for monetary policy, public finance, currency administration, and oversight of the cereal-based monetary system of the '''Glorious Revolutionary Microrepublic of Whaaat!?

The Ministry supervises the [[Cereal Exchange Authority]] ('''CEXA'''), which establishes exchange rates among the Republic's recognized cereal commodity currencies.

== Monetary system ==

The monetary system of the Glorious Revolutionary Microrepublic of Whaaat!? is based upon measured quantities of breakfast cereal.

The fundamental commodity unit is the '''bowl''', officially defined as approximately:

'''1 bowl = 1¾ US cups = 400 mL'''

Different cereals constitute different classes of currency. Exchange rates among these commodity currencies are established and periodically adjusted by the [[Cereal Exchange Authority]].

The four principal cereal currencies are:

* '''Sweet Corn''' — entertainment, luxury goods, and hard foreign exchange
* '''Corn''' — ordinary unofficial commerce
* '''Wheat''' — government and official transactions
* '''Chocolate''' — health care and medical transactions

== The Whaaatloo ==

The '''Whaaatloo''' (symbol: '''₩''') is the basic monetary unit of the Glorious Revolutionary Microrepublic of Whaaat!? and is expressed in bowls of Wheat cereal.

'''₩1 = one standard bowl of Wheat currency = approximately 400 mL (1¾ US cups).'''

Sweet Corn, Corn, and Chocolate currencies are valued as multiples or fractions of the Whaaatloo, with exchange rates established by the [[Cereal Exchange Authority]].

Typical monetary notation includes:

* '''₩1''' — one Whaaatloo
* '''₩½''' — one-half Whaaatloo
* '''₩¼''' — one-quarter Whaaatloo
* '''₩⅕''' — one-fifth Whaaatloo

The '''₩''' character is derived from Unicode U+20A9. Its use as the symbol of the Whaaatloo should not be confused with its use for the South Korean won.

Based upon average United States retail cereal prices, the Ministry assigns the Whaaatloo a '''nominal reference value of approximately US$0.60 per bowl'''.

This reference value is used for comparative accounting and exchange purposes and does not eliminate the underlying commodity basis of Whaaatian currency.

== Commodity currencies ==

=== Sweet Corn ===

'''Sweet Corn''' is the Republic's hard foreign-exchange currency and is principally used for '''entertainment, luxury goods, and other discretionary transactions'''.

A standard Sweet Corn bowl consists approximately of:

* '''200 Frosted Flakes'''; or
* '''100 Cap'n Crunch nuggets'''.

A typical 400 mL bowl weighs approximately '''60 grams''' and represents approximately '''240 calories'''.

Sweet Corn combines relatively high desirability with convenient cereal-piece denomination, making it particularly appropriate for discretionary and luxury commerce.

For a generic illustration of the flake-type cereal used in this currency, see:

[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Photo_cornflakes.jpg Generic bowl of cereal flakes — Wikimedia Commons, CC0]

=== Corn ===

'''Corn currency''' is intended for regular day-to-day transactions of an unofficial nature. It is generally not used for government activity or health-care transactions.

A standard Corn bowl consists approximately of:

* '''200 Corn Flakes'''; or
* '''150 Corn Chex'''.

A typical 400 mL bowl weighs approximately '''50 grams''' and represents approximately '''180 calories'''.

Generic public-domain illustrations:

[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hojuelas_de_maiz.jpg Close-up of corn flakes — Wikimedia Commons, public domain]

=== Wheat ===

'''Wheat currency''' is the official governmental currency and forms the commodity basis of the Whaaatloo.

A standard Wheat bowl consists approximately of:

* '''200 Wheaties flakes'''; or
* '''2 full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits'''.

A typical 400 mL bowl weighs approximately '''60 grams''' and represents approximately '''200 calories'''.

Wheat currency is used for official government payments including:

* taxes;
* postage and stamps;
* utilities;
* permits;
* government fees; and
* [[Cereal Aptitude Test]] fees.

The Government may require exchange or payment in '''whole full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits''' regardless of the calculated fractional value.

Where a fractional biscuit would otherwise be required, the amount payable may be '''rounded upward to the next whole biscuit'''.

Because two full-size biscuits constitute approximately ₩1, the whole-biscuit rule creates a practical minimum Shredded Wheat denomination of approximately '''₩½'''.

Consequently, the rounding effect of full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits may at times exaggerate the effective value of a Whaaatloo or of a government obligation denominated in Whaaatloos.

A historical public-domain illustration of Shredded Wheat is available at:

[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shredded_wheat_1899.png Shredded Wheat, 1899 — Wikimedia Commons, public domain]

=== Chocolate ===

'''Chocolate currency''' is principally reserved for the '''health-care economy''', including health services, drugs, pharmaceuticals, rehabilitation, and physical therapy.

A standard Chocolate bowl consists approximately of:

* '''400 Chocolate Pebbles''';
* '''200 Count Chocula ghost-shaped cereal pieces and marshmallows'''; or
* '''150 Cocoa Puffs'''.

A typical 400 mL bowl weighs approximately '''60 grams''' and represents approximately '''250 calories'''.

Because of the relatively small average size of many chocolate cereal units, movements in the health-care economy may be expressed in '''pebbles''' rather than flakes.

A generic illustration of chocolate cereal is available at:

[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cereal.jpg Chocolate cereal — Wikimedia Commons]

== Cereal Exchange Authority ==

The '''Cereal Exchange Authority''' ('''CEXA''') is the governmental monetary authority responsible for establishing and adjusting exchange rates among Sweet Corn, Corn, Wheat, and Chocolate currencies.

The Wheat-based Whaaatloo serves as the principal reference currency.

Sweet Corn, Corn, and Chocolate currencies are therefore pegged to multiples or fractions of the Whaaatloo, although their relative values may fluctuate.

CEXA traders establish exchange rates according to the relative values of the recognized cereal commodities.

Market trends are normally expressed as relative positive or negative changes measured in '''flakes'''.

In discussions of the health-care economy, fluctuations may instead be expressed in '''pebbles'''.

=== CEXA trading floor ===

Persons wishing to serve as traders of the Cereal Exchange Authority must successfully complete the [[Cereal Aptitude Test]] ('''CAT''').

A score of at least '''70 percent''' is required before a trader may be granted a seat on the CEXA trading floor.

The Cereal Aptitude Test is intended to ensure that persons entrusted with the valuation of the national cereal reserves possess at least a minimally acceptable ability to distinguish, enumerate, evaluate, and exchange cereal commodities.

== Nominal cereal values ==

Using '''₩1 = US$0.60''' as the nominal reference value of a standard Wheat bowl, representative cereal prices produce the following approximate deviations:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Cereal
! Currency class
! Difference from ₩1
! Approximate bowl value
|-
| Corn Flakes
| Corn
| −$0.15
| $0.45
|-
| Frosted Flakes
| Sweet Corn
| −$0.10
| $0.50
|-
| Cocoa Pebbles
| Chocolate
| −$0.08
| $0.52
|-
| Cocoa Puffs
| Chocolate
| −$0.07
| $0.53
|-
| Cap'n Crunch
| Sweet Corn
| −$0.04
| $0.56
|-
| Shredded Wheat
| Wheat
| ≈$0.00
| $0.60
|-
| Chocolate Chex
| Chocolate
| +$0.03
| $0.63
|-
| Corn Chex
| Corn
| +$0.05
| $0.65
|-
| Wheaties
| Wheat
| +$0.09
| $0.69
|-
| Count Chocula
| Chocolate
| +$0.13
| $0.73
|}

These figures are reference valuations rather than guaranteed retail redemption rates.

Actual exchange values among cereal currencies are established by CEXA.

== Exchange-rate notation ==

CEXA ordinarily expresses changes in value by reference to the number of cereal pieces gained or lost relative to the standard bowl.

Thus, changes in the Sweet Corn, Corn, and Wheat markets may be reported as positive or negative movements in '''flakes'''.

Because Chocolate currency may contain substantially smaller cereal pieces, changes in the Chocolate market may instead be expressed in '''pebbles'''.

All such commodity movements ultimately may be converted into Whaaatloos (₩) according to the prevailing CEXA exchange rate.

== Monetary policy ==

The cereal-based monetary system is intended to maintain a tangible commodity basis for Whaaatian currency while permitting different sectors of the economy to operate using cereal commodities appropriate to their functions.

Accordingly:

* a citizen purchasing an ordinary private good may transact in '''Corn''';
* the same citizen paying a tax, permit, postage, utility, or government fee may transact in '''Wheat''';
* health services and pharmaceuticals may be purchased using '''Chocolate'''; and
* entertainment and luxury goods may be purchased using '''Sweet Corn'''.

CEXA exchange rates provide convertibility among these economic sectors.

The resulting system combines commodity money, administratively defined monetary units, floating cereal exchange rates, and government-mandated cereal settlement requirements.

== Measurement and rounding ==

For official monetary purposes:

'''1 bowl = approximately 1¾ US cups = 400 mL'''

Individual cereal-piece counts are standardized approximations. They do not imply that every individual flake, puff, pebble, nugget, marshmallow, square, or biscuit possesses identical mass, dimensions, caloric content, or monetary value.

Where government regulations specify payment in whole Shredded Wheat biscuits, the whole-biscuit requirement takes precedence over a nominal fractional Whaaatloo calculation.

=== Whole Biscuit Rule ===

Because '''two full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits equal approximately ₩1''', each biscuit represents approximately '''₩½'''.

Where payment must be made in whole biscuits, the obligation is rounded upward to the next available half-Whaaatloo increment.

For example:

{| class="wikitable"
! Calculated obligation
! Required biscuit payment
! Effective payment
|-
| ₩0.25
| 1 biscuit
| ₩0.50
|-
| ₩0.50
| 1 biscuit
| ₩0.50
|-
| ₩0.51
| 2 biscuits
| ₩1.00
|-
| ₩1.00
| 2 biscuits
| ₩1.00
|-
| ₩1.01
| 3 biscuits
| ₩1.50
|}

This phenomenon is officially recognized as the '''Whole Biscuit Rule''' and explains why the practical value of certain government transactions may differ from their nominal Whaaatloo value.

== Illustrations and cereal specimens ==

The Ministry of Finance prefers generic or historical cereal illustrations rather than contemporary commercial packaging when illustrating official descriptions of the monetary system.

Currency of Whaaat!?

2026-09-02T14:36:22Z

GPB: updated currency page

The '''currency of Whaaat!?''' is a cereal-based monetary system of the [[Glorious Revolutionary Microrepublic of Whaaat!?]]. Currency is denominated in [[Bowl (currency)|bowls]] and fractional bowls of cereal.

The basic monetary unit is the '''Whaaatloo''' (symbol: '''₩'''), defined as one standard bowl of Wheat cereal.

'''₩1 = one standard bowl = approximately 400 mL (1¾ US cups).'''

The cereal monetary system is administered by the [[Ministry of Finance]] in association with the [[Ministry of Cereal]].

<div style="clear:both;"></div>

== Cereal currencies ==

Four classes of cereal are recognized for monetary purposes:

{| class="wikitable"
! Currency class
! Principal use
! Examples
|-
| '''Sweet Corn'''
| Entertainment, luxury goods, and hard foreign exchange
| Frosted Flakes; Cap'n Crunch
|-
| '''Corn'''
| Regular day-to-day unofficial transactions
| Corn Flakes; Corn Chex
|-
| '''Wheat'''
| Government and official transactions
| Wheaties; Shredded Wheat
|-
| '''Chocolate'''
| Health care, drugs, and physical therapy
| Cocoa Pebbles; Count Chocula; Cocoa Puffs
|}

The standard cereal [[Bowl (currency)|bowl]] is approximately '''400 mL (1¾ cups)'''. Individual cereals have different piece counts, weights, caloric values, and monetary values.

== The Whaaatloo ==

The '''Whaaatloo''' ('''₩''') is the reference currency of Whaaat!? and is expressed in bowls of Wheat cereal.

The Sweet Corn, Corn, and Chocolate currencies are valued as multiples or fractions of the Whaaatloo.

Based on representative cereal prices, the [[Ministry of Finance]] uses approximately '''US$0.60 per bowl''' as the nominal reference value of '''₩1'''. Actual cereal values may vary.

Because one Wheat bowl may be represented by two full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits, government transactions requiring payment in whole biscuits may be subject to rounding.

For detailed cereal quantities, valuations, exchange procedures, and government payment rules, see the [[Ministry of Finance]].

== Exchange rates ==

Exchange rates among Sweet Corn, Corn, Wheat, and Chocolate are established and adjusted by the '''[[Cereal Exchange Authority]]''' ('''CEXA''').

Changes in cereal values are generally expressed as positive or negative movements in '''flakes''', or in '''pebbles''' when discussing the Chocolate health-care economy.

CEXA traders must pass the [[Cereal Aptitude Test]] ('''CAT''') with at least '''70% accuracy''' before being granted a seat on the trading floor.

Ministry of Finance

2026-09-02T14:28:43Z

GPB: new page

The '''MinistryThe '''Ministry of Finance''' is the government ministry responsible for monetary policy, public finance, currency administration, and oversight of the cereal-based monetary system of the '''Glorious Revolutionary Microrepublic of Whaaat!?'''

The Ministry supervises the [[Cereal Exchange Authority]] ('''CEXA'''), which establishes exchange rates among the Republic's recognized cereal commodity currencies.

== Monetary system ==

The monetary system of the Glorious Revolutionary Microrepublic of Whaaat!? is based upon measured quantities of breakfast cereal.

The fundamental commodity unit is the '''bowl''', officially defined as approximately:

'''1 bowl = 1¾ US cups = 400 mL'''

Different cereals constitute different classes of currency. Exchange rates among these commodity currencies are established and periodically adjusted by the [[Cereal Exchange Authority]].

The four principal cereal currencies are:

* '''Sweet Corn''' — entertainment, luxury goods, and hard foreign exchange
* '''Corn''' — ordinary unofficial commerce
* '''Wheat''' — government and official transactions
* '''Chocolate''' — health care and medical transactions

== The Whaaatloo ==

The '''Whaaatloo''' (symbol: '''₩''') is the basic monetary unit of the Glorious Revolutionary Microrepublic of Whaaat!? and is expressed in bowls of Wheat cereal.

'''₩1 = one standard bowl of Wheat currency = approximately 400 mL (1¾ US cups).'''

Sweet Corn, Corn, and Chocolate currencies are valued as multiples or fractions of the Whaaatloo, with exchange rates established by the [[Cereal Exchange Authority]].

Typical monetary notation includes:

* '''₩1''' — one Whaaatloo
* '''₩½''' — one-half Whaaatloo
* '''₩¼''' — one-quarter Whaaatloo
* '''₩⅕''' — one-fifth Whaaatloo

The '''₩''' character is derived from Unicode U+20A9. Its use as the symbol of the Whaaatloo should not be confused with its use for the South Korean won.

Based upon average United States retail cereal prices, the Ministry assigns the Whaaatloo a '''nominal reference value of approximately US$0.60 per bowl'''.

This reference value is used for comparative accounting and exchange purposes and does not eliminate the underlying commodity basis of Whaaatian currency.

== Commodity currencies ==

=== Sweet Corn ===

'''Sweet Corn''' is the Republic's hard foreign-exchange currency and is principally used for '''entertainment, luxury goods, and other discretionary transactions'''.

A standard Sweet Corn bowl consists approximately of:

* '''200 Frosted Flakes'''; or
* '''100 Cap'n Crunch nuggets'''.

A typical 400 mL bowl weighs approximately '''60 grams''' and represents approximately '''240 calories'''.

Sweet Corn combines relatively high desirability with convenient cereal-piece denomination, making it particularly appropriate for discretionary and luxury commerce.

For a generic illustration of the flake-type cereal used in this currency, see:

=== Corn ===

'''Corn currency''' is intended for regular day-to-day transactions of an unofficial nature. It is generally not used for government activity or health-care transactions.

A standard Corn bowl consists approximately of:

* '''200 Corn Flakes'''; or
* '''150 Corn Chex'''.

A typical 400 mL bowl weighs approximately '''50 grams''' and represents approximately '''180 calories'''.

[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hojuelas_de_maiz.jpg Close-up of corn flakes — Wikimedia Commons, public domain]

=== Wheat ===

'''Wheat currency''' is the official governmental currency and forms the commodity basis of the Whaaatloo.

A standard Wheat bowl consists approximately of:

* '''200 Wheaties flakes'''; or
* '''2 full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits'''.

A typical 400 mL bowl weighs approximately '''60 grams''' and represents approximately '''200 calories'''.

Wheat currency is used for official government payments including:

* taxes;
* postage and stamps;
* utilities;
* permits;
* government fees; and
* [[Cereal Aptitude Test]] fees.

The Government may require exchange or payment in '''whole full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits''' regardless of the calculated fractional value.

Where a fractional biscuit would otherwise be required, the amount payable may be '''rounded upward to the next whole biscuit'''.

Because two full-size biscuits constitute approximately ₩1, the whole-biscuit rule creates a practical minimum Shredded Wheat denomination of approximately '''₩½'''.

Consequently, the rounding effect of full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits may at times exaggerate the effective value of a Whaaatloo or of a government obligation denominated in Whaaatloos.

A historical public-domain illustration of Shredded Wheat is available at:

=== Chocolate ===

'''Chocolate currency''' is principally reserved for the '''health-care economy''', including health services, drugs, pharmaceuticals, rehabilitation, and physical therapy.

A standard Chocolate bowl consists approximately of:

* '''400 Chocolate Pebbles''';
* '''200 Count Chocula ghost-shaped cereal pieces and marshmallows'''; or
* '''150 Cocoa Puffs'''.

A typical 400 mL bowl weighs approximately '''60 grams''' and represents approximately '''250 calories'''.

Because of the relatively small average size of many chocolate cereal units, movements in the health-care economy may be expressed in '''pebbles''' rather than flakes.

A generic illustration of chocolate cereal is available at:

[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cereal.jpg Chocolate cereal — Wikimedia Commons]

== Cereal Exchange Authority ==

The '''Cereal Exchange Authority''' ('''CEXA''') is the governmental monetary authority responsible for establishing and adjusting exchange rates among Sweet Corn, Corn, Wheat, and Chocolate currencies.

The Wheat-based Whaaatloo serves as the principal reference currency.

Sweet Corn, Corn, and Chocolate currencies are therefore pegged to multiples or fractions of the Whaaatloo, although their relative values may fluctuate.

CEXA traders establish exchange rates according to the relative values of the recognized cereal commodities.

Market trends are normally expressed as relative positive or negative changes measured in '''flakes'''.

In discussions of the health-care economy, fluctuations may instead be expressed in '''pebbles'''.

=== CEXA trading floor ===

Persons wishing to serve as traders of the Cereal Exchange Authority must successfully complete the [[Cereal Aptitude Test]] ('''CAT''').

A score of at least '''70 percent''' is required before a trader may be granted a seat on the CEXA trading floor.

The Cereal Aptitude Test is intended to ensure that persons entrusted with the valuation of the national cereal reserves possess at least a minimally acceptable ability to distinguish, enumerate, evaluate, and exchange cereal commodities.

== Nominal cereal values ==

Using '''₩1 = US$0.60''' as the nominal reference value of a standard Wheat bowl, representative cereal prices produce the following approximate deviations:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Cereal
! Currency class
! Difference from ₩1
! Approximate bowl value
|-
| Corn Flakes
| Corn
| −$0.15
| $0.45
|-
| Frosted Flakes
| Sweet Corn
| −$0.10
| $0.50
|-
| Cocoa Pebbles
| Chocolate
| −$0.08
| $0.52
|-
| Cocoa Puffs
| Chocolate
| −$0.07
| $0.53
|-
| Cap'n Crunch
| Sweet Corn
| −$0.04
| $0.56
|-
| Shredded Wheat
| Wheat
| ≈$0.00
| $0.60
|-
| Chocolate Chex
| Chocolate
| +$0.03
| $0.63
|-
| Corn Chex
| Corn
| +$0.05
| $0.65
|-
| Wheaties
| Wheat
| +$0.09
| $0.69
|-
| Count Chocula
| Chocolate
| +$0.13
| $0.73
|}

These figures are reference valuations rather than guaranteed retail redemption rates.

Actual exchange values among cereal currencies are established by CEXA.

== Exchange-rate notation ==

CEXA ordinarily expresses changes in value by reference to the number of cereal pieces gained or lost relative to the standard bowl.

Thus, changes in the Sweet Corn, Corn, and Wheat markets may be reported as positive or negative movements in '''flakes'''.

Because Chocolate currency may contain substantially smaller cereal pieces, changes in the Chocolate market may instead be expressed in '''pebbles'''.

All such commodity movements ultimately may be converted into Whaaatloos (₩) according to the prevailing CEXA exchange rate.

== Monetary policy ==

The cereal-based monetary system is intended to maintain a tangible commodity basis for Whaaatian currency while permitting different sectors of the economy to operate using cereal commodities appropriate to their functions.

Accordingly:

* a citizen purchasing an ordinary private good may transact in '''Corn''';
* the same citizen paying a tax, permit, postage, utility, or government fee may transact in '''Wheat''';
* health services and pharmaceuticals may be purchased using '''Chocolate'''; and
* entertainment and luxury goods may be purchased using '''Sweet Corn'''.

CEXA exchange rates provide convertibility among these economic sectors.

The resulting system combines commodity money, administratively defined monetary units, floating cereal exchange rates, and government-mandated cereal settlement requirements.

== Measurement and rounding ==

For official monetary purposes:

'''1 bowl = approximately 1¾ US cups = 400 mL'''

Individual cereal-piece counts are standardized approximations. They do not imply that every individual flake, puff, pebble, nugget, marshmallow, square, or biscuit possesses identical mass, dimensions, caloric content, or monetary value.

Where government regulations specify payment in whole Shredded Wheat biscuits, the whole-biscuit requirement takes precedence over a nominal fractional Whaaatloo calculation.

=== Whole Biscuit Rule ===

Because '''two full-size Shredded Wheat biscuits equal approximately ₩1''', each biscuit represents approximately '''₩½'''.

Where payment must be made in whole biscuits, the obligation is rounded upward to the next available half-Whaaatloo increment.

For example:

{| class="wikitable"
! Calculated obligation
! Required biscuit payment
! Effective payment
|-
| ₩0.25
| 1 biscuit
| ₩0.50
|-
| ₩0.50
| 1 biscuit
| ₩0.50
|-
| ₩0.51
| 2 biscuits
| ₩1.00
|-
| ₩1.00
| 2 biscuits
| ₩1.00
|-
| ₩1.01
| 3 biscuits
| ₩1.50
|}

This phenomenon is officially recognized as the '''Whole Biscuit Rule''' and explains why the practical value of certain government transactions may differ from their nominal Whaaatloo value.

== Illustrations and cereal specimens ==

The Ministry of Finance prefers generic or historical cereal illustrations rather than contemporary commercial packaging when illustrating official descriptions of the monetary system.
