Rufus Apk No Coins
Margit Szermer
The Spanish silver dollar minted in Mexico and South America from the 1600s to the early 1800s was called an 8 real coin. The term real coin referred to the silver coin being a royal coin. At first it was one large coin that would be cut into 8 pie-shaped wedges to make change. Later smaller coins of 1/2, 1, 2 and 4 reals began to be minted.
Spanish silver coins were declared legal tender, or money, in the U.S. by a Congressional act in 1793. In the early 1800s many people in the South preferred Spanish silver coins over American coins. Many early contracts in Lowndes and Monroe Counties, specified payment in Spanish silver or mentioned denominations such as 6 1/4 or 12 1/2 cents indicating the use of reals rather than U.S. coins.

The young, newly inaugurated president of the Shinra Electric Power Company. After his father's passing, Rufus has taken up the reins as head of the corporation. He aims to break with what he views as outdated practices and instead rebuild the company with a new creed, declaring the dawn of a new era during his inaugural address.
Rufus is the son of President Shinra and the former vice president of the Shinra Electric Power Company, succeeding his father as president. He is immensely prideful, cold, and ambitious with a rebellious streak. Rufus rules through fear, aiming to break outdated practices and lead the company into a new era. He works closely with the Turks, with Tseng as his right-hand man. Rufus is also the half-brother of Lazard Deusericus and Evan Townshend.
Rufus is trained in the art of combat and personally enters the battlefield. He wields a custom-made shotgun and is accompanied by his military hound, Darkstar. He is exclusively fought by Cloud Strife in Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
At age 5, Rufus's father showed him blueprints for the Shinra Building's executive office renovations. Rufus proposed installing an escape route in case of an attack. Though his father thought it was absurd in the face of Shinra's power, he reluctantly installed it for Rufus's sake, labeling it "L" for "loser".[1]
In December 0000, during Chapter 2 of Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, Rufus was appointed vice president of Shinra. Shinra personnel were notified by email and informed that he had departed on a long-term business trip, with details undisclosed for security reasons.[3][4] Sometime after Rufus became vice president, he secretly funded Avalanche, acting as an informant and closely working with their leader, Fuhito. He aimed for Avalanche to overthrow his father so he could take his position.[5]
On February 30, 0001, Rufus video-called President Shinra and Reno in Junon to check on the troubling situation with Avalanche during "In the White Light of Day, the Assassin Smiles" in Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-. He watched Emma in action, praised her performance, and was eager to see more of her work.[6] On December 22, 0001, during "This Night in an Untainted World", Rufus attended an executives' meeting following Avalanche's attack on Junon, requested a damage report, and clued his father and the executives into a Shinra informant leaking information to Avalanche. He questioned his father's leadership and advised caution.[7]
On January 2, 0002, Rufus criticized his father for the kidnapped SOLDIER operatives and the failed mission near Icicle Inn during "A Light That Penetrates Through the Darkness", inquiring about his plans regarding the informant.[8] On June 17, during "The Lone Discerning Alignment", Rufus was surprised by Professor Hojo's abduction by Avalanche and asked Verdot for a report. He agreed with his father about Hojo's untrustworthiness and possibility of switching sides, but opposed calling in Sephiroth.[9] On August 9, Rufus suggested using the army to capture the Ancient Aerith Gainsborough forcefully, deeming it unnecessary to involve the Turks during "The Dash to Freedom". He disagreed with the president's cautious approach to capturing Aerith and searching for the "promised land".[10]
In January 0003, during "All of Our Resolve and Longing", Rufus and Fuhito met after Avalanche's HQ in Wutai was destroyed, content that they had fooled Shinra into thinking Avalanche was wiped out. Rufus suggested eliminating the Turks' leader Verdot for getting too close to the truth, acknowledging their inability to handle all the minor inconveniences. They planned their next move for the rocket launch ceremony.[11] On April 12, the Turks guarded Rufus while attending the Shinra No. 26 launch in Rocket Town during "Onward to the Distant Heavens". He felt space exploration was pointless and argued with Cid Highwind over it. Rufus collaborated with Avalanche to sabotage the launch, questioning his father's intentions and asserting he could lead Shinra more effectively. When the launch was canceled and space program funding was suspended, Rufus wondered how his father would publicly respond.[11]
On May 8, 0003, during "The Muddy Course of Inexorable Fate", Rufus left Shinra HQ to coordinate with Avalanche in Corel but was unexpectedly discovered by the Turks in the unfinished mako reactor. He later accused Avalanche of breaking their agreement by occupying the reactor and Verdot exposed him as the Shinra informant and secret leader of Avalanche. Rufus offered to drop the matter if Fuhito killed the Turks, but was betrayed and regretted his actions. He was protected by the Turks as Avalanche attacked and urged them to prevent the reactor's explosive destruction.[12] During "An Eruption of Fanged Chaos", Rufus assumed the Turk inside the reactor had perished. Upon recovering them, Rufus was escorted back to the Shinra Building and put on house arrest. President Shinra falsely claimed to the public that Rufus was abroad on an extended business trip.[13]
Rufus remained on house arrest for four years, continuously monitored by the Turks. On December 19, 0006, during "The Choices We Made in the Beginning and the End", he taunted Tseng about a defecting Turk.[14] On February 20, 0007, during "The Consequences of Our Choices", Rufus mocked Tseng for the Turks betraying Shinra, warning of the army's plan to end them. Tseng assured they would not jeopardize the company, leading Rufus to admit he overestimated them. Reeve Tuesti was unable to find Rufus, who asked Tseng for his opinion on Cait Sith.[15]
On October 1, 0007, during "Resolve to Reach the End", Rufus informed Tseng about Avalanche operatives heading to Corel Prison and updated his cell's surveillance system to monitor worldwide events. He was confident in his chances to wrest the company from his father. He urged Tseng to rescue Verdot and another captured Turk, emphasizing the Turks' survival was crucial.[16] During "The Threat that Pierces the Heavens", Rufus asked an agreeing Tseng if he was prepared to rescue Verdot and provided his exact location in exchange for the Turks' loyalty.[17] On October 5, during "Veering Wildly Towards an Unstoppable End", Rufus was released from his arrest, deceiving his father into believing he had changed his perspective, but actually seeing it as an opportunity to seize control of Shinra. He proposed a plan to his father that promised glory for the company.[18]
During the epilogue of Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-, Rufus surprised Scarlet by attending a meeting regarding the Turks' punishment for their actions. He declared that the Turks had proven their loyalty by assassinating Fuhito and Verdot. When Tseng thanked him on behalf of the Turks, Rufus dismissively responded it was not for their sake.[5]
Rufus returned to Midgar after Sephiroth murdered his father and assumed office as Shinra's new president during "The Nightmare Beginning Anew" in Final Fantasy VII. He met Cloud's party, criticized his father's leadership, and declared his intention to claim the "promised land" and control the world with fear. He was accompanied by Dark Nation and fought Cloud, but was defeated and retreated via helicopter.[19] Sometime before "Going After Sephiroth", Rufus assigned the Turks to pursue and locate Sephiroth.[20]
Rufus traveled to Junon via the Highwind during "The Stowaway Strategy" for his inauguration ceremony. He inquired about the airship's status, scolded Heidegger for his laugh, and noted things had changed from the time the company was under his father's leadership. Rufus enjoyed the Junon army's send-off but warned Heidegger about Sephiroth and Cloud's party before boarding a Shinra cargo ship to Costa del Sol.[21] During "Dangerous Voyage", Rufus thanked the crew upon arrival and reprimanded Heidegger for allowing Sephiroth and Cloud's party to slip through as stowaways. He urged Heidegger to take action, expecting results, and departed via helicopter.[22]
