The mod makes Florens, Orens( and added Ducats) useable currencies like Crowns in their corresponding areas, which can be used for buying, crafting, etc.
Also according to the exchange rate between these currencies, modified prices and incomes in all regions to reflect the true value of them.
Enjoy the immersive economy system!

features:
1. Florens, Orens, Ducats, Crowns.
Now they are all useable currencies in their corresponding areas.
Florens are used in Toussaint, Vizima.
Orens are used in White Orchard.
Ducats are added to the game as the currency of Skellige.
Crowns are used in all other regions.

2. Modified all the exchange rate of the currencies. Now they are:
Florens : Crowns :Ducats: Orens  = 12 : 6 : 2 : 1.
According to the lore, the exchange rate is 6 Orens to every Crown, and a Ducat is equal to one third of a Crown, also 100 Orens are the equivalent of 9 Florens. So I set the exchange rate as it is now.
And now the exchange rate of each money can be showed properly in the inventory menu.

3. When entering a region, its corresponding currency will automatically switch to the main money showed on the top of the inventory menu. And others will switch into un-useable coins in the inventory. See the images I upload to know how it works.

4. Now banks become more useful as when you entering a new region, your money earned from last region can't be directly used. You have to exchange them to the local currency to turn them into useable money.
Vimme Vivaldi: Exchange other money into Crowns.
Cianfanelli Bank: Exchange other money into Florens.
I also added Bram( the griffon merchant) to be able to exchange other money into Orens.
And added a new exchange merchant in Skellige who will transfer all coins into Ducats for you. It's the Inn keeper of the New Port, Jonas, at the Kaer Trolde Harbor.

5. Added the popup window allowing to choose how much money you want to convert when exchanging. Please note that coins may have an indivisible remainder when exchanged, so the actual converted coins may be less than the number you chose.

6. Modified almost all money related activities in the game, to reflect the true value of the currencies.
Including selling, buying, crafting, alchemy, dismantle, socket adding, bets, bargains, hair cut, shaving, Corvo Bianco's renovation etc.

7. Now when entering Velen from Vizima for the first time, all coins will transfer to the main money, instead of only switching Crowns to be the main money. There will still be a long time to see Vimme Vivaldi to exchange for Crowns, and it's not good when you have 0 main money when arriving Velen unable to do anything. Actually the Emperor should arrange that for Geralt by exchanging some local money for his newly hired witcher, right?
The same by entering Toussaint from Velen.
Thanks to ElementaryLewis for the advice.
And it can be set in the mod settings menu whether or not converting the coins when entering a new region for the first time.

8. Added mod settings menu with options allowing to set whether or not converting the coins in stash when exchanging.

9. Now the money of some quest rewards will be more plot-friendly. Including:
White Orchard:
Bram for saving him: Crowns, cause he mentioned he will give some Crowns as rewards.
Peter Saar Gwynleve for Griffin: Florens
Nilfgaardians if you handed them John Geermer: Florens
Velen:
Pellar for Forefather's Eve: Orens
Margaret for lying about Hanna: Orens
Niellen for lying about Hanna: Orens
Villagers for killing ekimma: Orens
Nilfgaardian patrol for killing ekimma: Florens
Lurtch villagers for lifting pig curse: Orens
Tavar Eggebracht for Wyvern: Florens
Girl who's boyfriend got mauled by wolfs: Orens
Granddaughter of the ghost grandma who wanted to reconcile with her ghost husband: Orens
Nilfgaardian mother for news about her dead son: Florens
Jan Verdun for saving his life: Orens
Villagers for convincing Allgod to eat less: Orens
Stash that we are led to by a doggo: Orens
Random abandoned place encounters: Orens
Novigrad:
Rosa var Attre for fencing lessons: Florens
Note that other quests rewards in Vizima & Toussaint are already changed to Florens, and quests rewards in White Orchard are already Orens.
Thanks to the mod Immersive Rewards by kuczaja for these plot-friendly ideas.

10. Added description text for all the currencies. Currently en, cn, ru, es, esMX supported.
ru - Arkwulf, thanks him for making the Russian translation.
es, esMX - Deepk, thanks him for making the Spanish translation.

11. Changed many game texts which mentioned the currency types to be more consistent with the changes made by the mod. (Only available in en, cn, es, esMX and ru)
Thanks to kikosawa for helping me to find almost all of them.


The mod includes both mod and dlc parts. And the scripts should be merged.
And now the mod has a mod settings menu( bin folder). Remember to add modFlorenEconomySystem.xmll; (not the content in it, just this file name + ;) to the end of dx11filelist.txt/dx12filelist.txt files in bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\ folder.
Or run the Menu Filelist Updater tool to auto-update the filelist.txt files.
Enjoy the immersive economy system!
