 The above are designed for use in automatic payment machines, and are in common usage, especially under Cr100. They are minted by a major bank normally located at the Sector capital, and are accepted all across the Imperium. The advantage over 'electronic' money is that they are often accepted on worlds which don't have the means to perform electronic funds transfer.
-Larger denominations are rarer, and have a rectangular shape. This makes them unusable in the normal machines that automatically take, which is a deliberate choice to prevent them being in common use. They generally require manual checking before they can be used.
+Up to Cr50 are coins. Larger denominations are notes, a sort of plastic material with electronics embedded inside. Cr1,000 and larger are 'large' notes and are very rare, and generally not accepted by automatic machines which is a deliberate choice to prevent them being in common use except for transfer of funds between worlds.
