Barter is the word that commerce in Torreluces uses for exchange: gains traded for services or for other goods. Around 2087 all commerce operates this way, by direct barter, and tubes and other articles circulate as currency. Yet the same archive calls it a “vestigial consumption system of the past”.
Prices
- “Hope” is priced at 2 barters; the archive does not say whether it is a good, a service or something else.
- On one day a company made off with 100 barters by forcing the accounts of a bank.
