No, it doesn't. But you can do other things with credsticks, like using a

That is only because the machinery needed to reproduce those notes is
expenisve and hard to come by. Watch the PRC, NorKor and Iran. Those are

Once you have machine that can print the note, then you need to get the
proper stock and ink.
