An Edit:
The full OTC catalogue is available to view in one place here. It should be kept at least moderately updated.

Hm. Interesting.
Also potentially apocalyptic.
Do you have a full catalog?

Would you care to explain what all of these various currencies are and how they might be acquired?

Hm. Interesting. Also potentially apocalyptic. Do you have a full catalog? We disapprove of buyers using our products irresponsibly. The catalog we have provided is the full set of items currently available at this branch. Stock will change over time, so if you are interested in an item, don't wait to buy! Would you care to explain what all of these various currencies are and how they might be acquired? As conjuring magic exists in multiple planes of reality, the OTC naturally cannot trade in common coin. All our currencies are local multiversal standards we have eventually come to support, and all of them are unconjurable save by a sacrifice of some form.
1 Ka is roughly equivalent to five years of healthy life. 1 Izikiel is the benefit of seeing one bushel of one's enemies destroyed. 1 Chron is 5.26 seconds of time when you need it. 1 Takkarash is a volume of pain roughly equal to a sharp bump on the head. 1 Udi is equivalent to one fervent hope or dream. 1 Buddhitanka is equal to a significant insight or useful piece of information. 1 Cernnuous is equivalent to one year of continuous godly effort. It is unreasonably large for any significant trade, and is thus usually traded in pico-Cernnuouses.

What form does "disapproval" take?
How do Ka interface with immortal beings or spirits, or Chrons with entities who can stop time? If a godlike entity offers a significant fraction of Cernnuous, can he put restrictions upon the purposes for which it will be used?
(And, if I may - why are Udis worth so much less than the other items on the list? Unless the only sacrifice is the "wish" and not the "destiny of achieving it"?)

Could you expand on the definition of one bushel of enemies?

The only sacrifice is the wish, and not the destiny. If you give up your dream of a flying car for an Udi, that will not cause you to be unable to make flying cars: you will simply not care anymore. Personally, I maintain that it's still undervalued.
Immortal beings cannot generate Ka. Beings that can stop time can still generate Chrons - they are based specifically on subjective time that you require, otherwise everyone who has ever had an afternoon to waste would be rich.
You are encouraged not to find out what disapproval looks like.
Could you expand on the definition of one bushel of enemies? It's an archaic measure of 'hostile might.' In most situations it works out to about a dozen minor rivals or one nemesis.

How is currency transfer accomplished? OTC is able to remotely supply the neccessary sacrificial magic for free, if informed that you wish to make a purchase. All that is required is that you state which medium you wish to pay in.
If you wish to store dreams, pain, destroyed enemies, etc, in their proper coins, we can arrange minting services for a 1% fee.

1% seems a rather steep charge for simply allowing your customers to convert between currencies.

Let's approximate this as someone who jumps between mortal bodies, it's not quite accurate but it's probably close enough. A Ka is more specifically "the good done to a mortal by five years of additional healthy life." If you were to sacrifice health from mortal bodies, it might be worth some part of a Ka, but you would probably have a better exchange rate via Takkarash.

1% seems a rather steep charge for simply allowing your customers to convert between currencies. We offer bulk rates on conversions in excess of a hundred thousand OTC.

On a side note - I am likely capable of providing Cernnuous in non-trivial quantities. What is the form of a Cernnuous, and how is it spent?

Unless you're interested in a personal demiplane, I'm afraid this small branch doesn't have the operating capital to afford trading with you yet - but I will send word up the network to my superiors that they should contact you. It may take some time - they're busy people, and are very stingy with their Chrons.

Do I understand correctly that a sacrifice for Takkarash only requires unpleasant sensation, not actual injury?
Can you give some examples of how the values of Takkarash sacrifices scale with more intense pain, or chronic pain sustained over a longer period?
Do you have any interest in buying commodities, or only in selling?
