I know that most people in SR4 use credsticks for common transactions - be it in nuyen or corporate scrip. But does anyone use paper currency and coinage anymore? It just seems like small transactions between criminals wouldn't be done with commlinks since nobody trusts each other, but they'd have to if there is no longer any concept of specie circular or hard currency. If anyone has an opinion or a reference to fluff from pre-SR4 material, I'd appreciate it.
(this question came up due to a conversation about how viable the Boondock Saints methodology of leaving coins for the ferryman would be in SR) |
