Package net.commerce.zocalo.currency Description

These classes represent conserved currencies that form the basis for exchange. Currency is the base class for money (represented by Funds) and tradable Coupons, which represent the assets in a prediction market.

CashBank and CouponBank are the issuers of Funds and Coupons respectively. They provide the ability to control the issuance of these currencies. In the capability sense, they should be "closely held", to ensure that the authority to issue new valuable currencies isn't misused.

Accounts manage cash and coupons for users.
