Version history
- Demo 049-Rev5-L Main guide
As part of the Republic’s very generous welfare initiative, Food Stamps are routinely distributed among the most needy in the Lower Levels. These can be used to buy essential items in stores backed by the Republic. Be warned, however: counterfeit Food Stamps are not unusual in the Lower Levels.
Lettering Issues
Look for spelling errors, obvious misaligned text. Differences in color, font or missing lettering are also common in forgeries.
Logo Issues
(Incorrect if logo missing)
The reference logo is a cyan-blue diamond on a dark field with cross-lines at its center. The genuine example has several stepped horizontal lines below; the incorrect example has only one.
Security Seal Issues
If the Food Stamp has a printed value of 160 Credits or higher, it will have a security seal. Food Stamps under 160 Credits will not have a security seal.
Stamp Value
Food Stamps are ONLY issued with values of:
40 Credits, 80 Credits,
120 Credits, 160 Credits,
200 Credits, 240 Credits
Chip
All Food Stamps contain a chip. If the chip is missing or damaged, the Food Stamp is unusable, even if it is genuine.
The differences should be obvious at a glance.
