"You might be surprised how many kinds of currency people use here. But thank you." She won't fight since Trixie's so determined, but she may end up passing at least one of them on. A certain young god of mischief she knows would find these coins very interesting and Verity does love to spoil him. The coins will both get tucked in a pocket for now.
"We have machines that make paper, so it doesn't take as long and is much more readily available." She gets out her wallet while she's explaining and pulls out a five-dollar bill for Trixie to look over. "The paper is a special blend of wood pulp and cotton, so it's more durable and easy to identify to the touch. The ink is special too, and you see there, that's a little holographic strip embedded in the paper. All of these things are made only for the government and are hard to steal, so forging the notes is really hard. And with paper, you don't have to worry about clipping, plus it's a lot lighter. I could carry thousands of dollars in my pocket without a problem. Well, except for if a pickpocket found me that day."
