Technically, 'hard' currency is made of a precious metal, or at least backed by it in a vault somewhere. 'Soft' currency is what we use today... 'fiat' money with no fixed quantity of any precious commodity to stabilize it. Nothing but the word of the government (cough!) guarantees its value.
The sense in which Fyron is using it just means 'physical tokens' though. Something you can stack.  |
