ACTEC Trust & Estate Talk: Video games and money laundering. Nancy Crow, an ACTEC Fellow from Denver, discusses the complexities of these virtual currencies and how they've become a lucrative source of money. Many money launderers have used video games as a source of income. But what exactly are the benefits and costs of each of these currencies? We also discuss the use of Coin manipulatives or "soft" currencies.
Soft currency
In addition to monetary symbols, the game should also have soft currency. Soft currency is earned through gameplay and should be able to be spent on a wide variety of items, consumables, upgrades, and other content. Alternatively, a player can buy soft currency from a special shop. The game's goals as well as the player's bank balance determine the amount of soft currency that a player can purchase.
Hard currency
The in-game economy is based on two distinct types of money: soft currency and hard currency. You can purchase soft currency by paying users. Hard currency can only be obtained from in-game activities. Soft currency can be used for purchasing items as the title suggests. It is possible to earn soft currency through daily activities. One example is selling products from their farm to earn coins. They can also purchase soft currencies from a specific shop.
Event currency
While some games use regular currency, others use the event currency. Event currencies can be used to boost your game's economy and reward players who participate in events. There are a variety of event currencies available, including monthly currency, time-limited currency and feature currencies. We will take a look at each type below. Below are examples of event currencies being used in games. You can find out how to get them here.
Coin manipulatives
Coin manipulatives help children learn the value of different coins. They can practice counting quarters (pennies, nickels and dimes), and they can compare the coins' prices to real-world prices. The children will become familiar with currency handling by placing the coins in their appropriate slots. This is an excellent way for children to learn counting. They can also use this as a foundation in math lessons. These are just a few examples of games that utilize coin manipulatives.
Budgeting based on games
Public budgeting often seeks to minimize conflict, competition, and other negative interactions. However, the game approach can be fun and motivating to get people involved in budget-making. Lerner identified four key game mechanisms to ensure everyone participates: engagement and conflict, collaboration, as well as outcomes. Aside from the obvious benefits to both the players and the organization, game-based budgeting can be a very effective way to increase participation in public budgeting.

What is vocational education?
Vocational education is an educational program that prepares students to work after high school and college. It teaches them specific skills for specific jobs (such as welding). It includes training on the job in apprenticeship programs. Vocational education is distinct from general education as it focuses more on training individuals for specific jobs than on learning broad knowledge that can be used in the future. Vocational education does more than prepare for university. It helps people find jobs after graduation.
Vocational education can take place at all levels of schooling. This includes primary schools, secondary schools and colleges, universities as well as colleges, technical institutes, technical colleges, trade schools, community college, junior colleges, four-year colleges, and colleges. In addition, there are many specialized schools such as culinary arts schools, nursing schools, law schools, medical schools, dental schools, veterinary medicine schools, firefighting schools, police academies, military academies, and other military schools. These schools offer both practical and academic training.
A number of countries have made significant investments in vocational education over recent decades; for example, Australia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. However, the effectiveness of vocational education remains controversial. Some critics believe it doesn't help students get hired, while others claim that it helps prepare them for life after high school.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that 47% of American adults possess a postsecondary certificate, or degree related to current occupation.
