Are the coins in Eberron and/or Sharn named? For example, isn't a gold piece called a "Galifar"? Are silver pieces, copper pieces, platinum pieces named also? If so, what are they called?

I think I remember reading this somewhere, but I can't find anything in the books (Eberron Campaign and Sharn). If someone could point out the page number, I will say nice things about him/her to my friends.

Copper Crowns
Silver Soverigns
Gold Galifars
and finally, Platinum... Dragons.
