Spoiler:
Imperial credits are almost impossible to counterfeit
because of their unique method of manufacture. Plastic
fibers are combined under high temperature and prsssura
and extruded as a rectangular bundje of great length. The
different colored fibers form the pattern of the bill. It is not
printed on but actually made a part of the structure of the
note. The bundle is sliced to paper thinness, and a 14-digit
alphanumeric Ilatter/number combination) is added for uniqueness.
Credit bills are issued in 10, 20, 50, 100, 600,
1,000, and 10,000 credit denominations. Plastic coins,
manufactured in a similar manner in various shapes, are
issued in quarter, half, one, and five credit denominations.
Imperial credits can be bulky in large enough quantities.
Bills measure 75 mrn by t 25 mm; one thousand bills stand
50 mrn high and weigh 500 grams.
