From Andrew's dictionary: _sollt_ and _deneir_.

Nur-ellen uses borrowed terms fitted to the language's phonology: a
pound is a _liv`r_, a shilling a _solt_ and a penny is a _dener_.
Plurals are formed by native rules: _liv`r_ (no change), _sölt_ and
_diner_.

This is a _turn_ (literally, "shield") in Nur-ellen, because this is
what the word means in French.  The plural is _tyrn_.

These currencies have the same names as the Kemrese ones; the different
systems are differenced by terms such as _Kemren_ (Kemrese), _Englen_
(English),
etc.
