Hmm, good point. Bribes are definetly going to be a big part of the
game. I would guess that many soldiers don't want their money put in an
account is because they want to have it to use on drink and women. And
of course gambling.
I have a faint memory of reading about a mint in the Rubble, but I don't remember if it's still working or who controls it.
