Malvina had worked with one of the AIs to create currency in several denominations, and that a bank had been set up where every family had an account ...nd the Ard-Ri had the national treasury. Laughing at the look on Michaels face, Malvina said someone had to do it, and he was to busy to even think about it, let alone do it.
