One of the reasons I wanted to make it rule-regulated, BTW, was so that it could possibly replace the system of VCs and marks, which, personally, I find a little messy. It might be a good idea, if we can all agree on that (which I doubt we can), to re-engineer the whole idea, and add new functionality to the peso, giving it the ability to increase one's VVLOP, and obsoleting the mark and VC. Obviously, there would be the ability to transfer VCs and marks for pesos (I was thinking that 1 mark should equal 1 peso, and 1 VC should equal 100 pesos).
I'm just trying to add some realism to the currency system, and perhaps improve it. If you guys could help me out with it by giving suggestions, I feel like we really could make the game more lively.
