ACTEC Trusts and Estate Talks: Money laundering and video gaming. Nancy Crow, an ACTEC Fellow from Denver, discusses the complexities of these virtual currencies and how they've become a lucrative source of money. Many money launderers have used video games as a source of income. But what exactly are the benefits and costs of each of these currencies? We also address the use Coin manipulatives, which is "soft" currency.
Soft currency
Soft currency should be available in addition to monetary symbols. Soft currency is earned from gameplay and can then be used for a wide range items, consumables as well as upgrades and other content. Soft currency can also be purchased from a dedicated shop. The amount of soft currencies a player may buy will depend on the game's goals, as well the bank balance.
Hard currency
The in-game economy is based on two distinct types of money: soft currency and hard currency. Soft currency can be obtained by paying users, while hard currencies are acquired through in-game events. Soft currency can be used to purchase goods, as the name implies. Players can acquire soft currency by performing everyday activities. For example, players can earn coins by selling products from their farms. They can also purchase soft currency by purchasing it from a special shop.
Event currency
While some games use regular currency, others use the event currency. Event currencies are a great way for your game to grow its economy and to reward players who take part in events. There are a variety of event currencies available, including monthly currency, time-limited currency and feature currencies. Let's take a look below at each. Here are some examples of the use of event currencies in games. Learn how to get event currencies.
Coin manipulatives
The value of different coins can be taught to children through coin manipulatives. They can practice counting pennies (ninths, dimes, or quarters) and can compare the value of coins to real-life prices. Children will develop an understanding of currency and money handling by placing coins in the appropriate slots. This is a wonderful way to teach children counting and can be used as a foundation for math lessons later on. These are just a few examples of games that utilize coin manipulatives.
Budgeting based on games
Public budgeting often seeks to minimize conflict, competition, and other negative interactions. The game approach, however, can be a fun and inspiring way to involve people in budget-making. Lerner identified four important game mechanics that ensure everyone participates in budget-making: engagement, conflict management, collaboration, outcomes. Game-based budgeting is a great way to increase public participation.
