I either have had a brainstorm or a stroke.....
No, I can type, so it must be a brainstorm.

Nationals issue money. Corporates issue money in the form of scrip. What
is to say that folks like the yakuza and mafia can issue scrip? It could
only be used at issuing family's operations, or at a slight loss at thier
allies. You get the bills in exgange for goods or services at a slightly
better price than for "real" money, but since you can be seen with it
anywheres else, the penalties are greater than the bonuses in most cases.
I can also see opposing houses trying to devaluate a currency, or forge it.
