hi, I'm just trying to understand how currency works across worlds. I'm starting with the traveller wiki on imperial currency
I'm assuming (yes, I know) that a person's comm (or Imperial Standard Credit Card) would carry their currency/ balance, and they would send/ receive Cr with their comm (or card) in-system, and that sooner or later they would have to sync up with an "official" branch of whichever bank they are with. I'm guessing cash would be needed on lower TL, or more distant worlds.
To use stolen comms/ cards to make payments would likely be done by jailbreaking them (I guess) and would sooner or later get locked when this nefarious activity reached the attention of the bank.
Can anyone comment on the validity of these assumptions? Also, can anyone let me know which supplements (any edition) might cover these subjects in more detail. Cos sooner or later my PCs will start trying to use a stolen payment device
