This ACTEC Trust and Estate Talk focuses on money laundering and video games. Nancy Crow, an ACTEC Fellow from Denver, discusses the complexities of these virtual currencies and how they've become a lucrative source of money. She explains that video games have been a major source of income for many money-launderers. What are the costs and benefits of each currency? We also talk about the use of Coin manipulatives, or "soft" currency.
Soft currency
Other than monetary symbols, a game should also provide soft currency. Soft currency, which is earned through gameplay, should be available to be used on a wide range of goods, consumables or upgrades. You can also purchase soft currency at a special shop. The amount of soft currency a player can buy depends on the game's goals and the amount of the player's bank balance.
Hard currency
In-game money is made up of two types of money: hard currency or soft currency. You can purchase soft currency by paying users. Hard currency can only be obtained from in-game activities. Soft currency can be used for purchasing items as the title suggests. Players can acquire soft currency by performing everyday activities. Players can make coins selling products from their farms. Soft currency can be purchased from a designated shop.
Event currency
While some games have regular money, others use event currency. Event currencies can be used to boost your game's economy and reward players who participate in events. There are a variety of event currencies available, including monthly currency, time-limited currency and feature currencies. We'll be taking a closer look at each one. Listed below are some examples of how event currencies are used in games. If you're wondering how to get them, read on.
Coin manipulatives
The value of different coins can be taught to children through coin manipulatives. They can practice counting quarters (pennies, nickels and dimes), and they can compare the coins' prices to real-world prices. Children can practice handling money by placing the coins into their designated slots. This is a great way to teach counting skills and it can be used as a foundation lesson for math. Below are some examples of games using coin manipulatives.
Budgeting based on games
Public budgeting often aims to reduce conflict, competition and other negative interactions. The game approach can however be a fun, inspiring, and enjoyable way to engage people in budget-making. Lerner identified four key game mechanics to ensure that everyone participates: engagement, conflict, collaboration, and outcomes. Game-based budgeting is a great way to increase public participation.
