@ Yeah, but the corps enforce the laws on corp scrip... it's one of the
@ techniques they use to control their wage-slaves. Pay them in currency
@ they can only spend at your stores... :)
Lets guess no exchange office either. So to answer the original
question we have:
Credstick: Acts as modern day debit card + personal details.
This is the most commonly used form of currency
outside the corp. Problems include high
traceability and possible breaking of ID (If
fake.
Certified Cred: This are like modern day bank guarenteed checks, save
the funds don't come out of a personal account. This
is the most commonly held type of money used mainly
by the SINless. Problems include a fair chance of
traceability.
Cash: See wallet when full. Almost untraceable, but very rare. Will
only be accepted in certain places (Apparently New York) with
any great frequency.
Corp. Scrip: The control mechanism of the corps. Prevents revenue
from otherwise going to competitors. Very difficult to
exchange (see your local fixer for current comission
rates).
Corp. Bonds: Unnamed bearer bonds of the corp. Can be sold openly
(again see local fixer for exchange rates).
Thats all that I can think of at this time
