This ACTEC Trust and Estate Talk focuses on money laundering and video games. Nancy Crow, a Denver ACTEC Fellow, discusses the complexities involved in virtual currencies and how they have become a profitable source of income. Video games, she explains, have been a prime source of income for many money launderers. But what exactly are the benefits and costs of each of these currencies? We also cover the use Coin manipulatives (or "soft") currency.
Soft currency
Other than monetary symbols, a game should also provide soft currency. Soft currency is earned by playing the game and can be spent on many items, consumables and upgrades. You can also purchase soft currency at a special shop. The amount of currency a gamer can buy is determined by the game's goals and their bank balance.
Hard currency
Two distinct types of money make up the in-game currency system: soft currency (or hard currency). Soft currency can be acquired by paying users, while hard currency is obtained from in-game events. As the term implies, soft currency is used to purchase items. It is possible to earn soft currency through daily activities. One example is selling products from their farm to earn coins. They can also purchase soft currencies from a specific shop.
Event currency
While some games have regular money, others use event currency. Event currencies are a great way to increase the economy of your game and reward players for participating in events. There are several types of event currencies: time-limited currency and monthly currency. Let's take a look below at each. Listed below are some examples of how event currencies are used in games. Learn how to get event currencies.
Coin manipulation
Children can learn to count coins using coin manipulatives. They can practice counting quarters, pennies, nickels, and dimes and can also compare the coins' values to real world prices. Children will develop an understanding of currency and money handling by placing coins in the appropriate slots. This is an excellent way for children to learn counting. They can also use this as a foundation in math lessons. These are just a few examples of games that utilize coin manipulatives.
Budgeting using games
Public budgeting is often about minimizing conflict, competition, or other negative interactions. The game approach can however be a fun, inspiring, and enjoyable way to engage people in budget-making. Lerner identified four game mechanics that will ensure everyone takes part: conflict, collaboration and outcomes. Aside from the obvious benefits to both the players and the organization, game-based budgeting can be a very effective way to increase participation in public budgeting.
