Money is a cornerstone of a successful society. Right now we have to barter for favors if there's a job that needs done. It's easy to lose track of who owes who for what. Physical currency solves this problem and makes it easier to determine how much a unit of cost (an hour of work) should be worth.

Those of us who are working on the planet are being paid in physical currency. I think that once we return to the ship, we should all agree to honor this currency for goods and services rendered.

Make sure to cash out for these coins so we all have the same thing. They have cloth bills but I don't think those are worth shit. We'll handle distribution for the people who aren't working once we figure out how much money we have on board.

Oh, now I can get on with that. Maybe some way to make sure people are returning the favors they promised, but how would you make that work? Like someone would have to make sure they did what they'd say they'd do.

You're thinking some kind of electronic credits system would work better? IOUs in the computer system?

Yeah, maybe. I dunno what everyone would be willin' to do, you know? Cause people here ain't always wantin to follow rules. No harm in tryin' though.
