The counter and money handling

A cash change at the counter is its own interaction.

Money in TCG Card Shop Simulator changes hands at the counter: the game treats a cash change as an interaction with its own currency data and its own counter settings.

In play

Handing over change is an interaction in the world rather than a silent arithmetic step, which is why the counter is somewhere you stand.

Currency data has its own place in that system, so the money you handle is defined rather than drawn from a fixed number.

The counter keeps settings of its own, which is why a busy counter can be configured instead of merely being staffed.

What this entry does not tell you: exchange rates, how much change is available or how a mistake affects a customer. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
