[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5293513, member: 177"] Well, it depends upon what they intend to do. If they are trying to just store their cash, and have no desire to recover it except by showing up where they deposited it, then they don't need to carry a document with them - they'd only need such a document at the time of withdrawal. Bank the cash, stow the document somewhere (or with someone) safe and reliable, and pick it up when you need it. Since they probably deal face-to-face with the banker, they probably don't even strictly need the document. They are violent hero types, and the banker is probably not going to shaft them unless he feels [i]extremely[/i] physically secure from retribution. A verbal agreement may be all that's required. If they wish to access their money on the road, they need to use a [i]commonly accepted[/i] form of documentation. They can deposit cash in Florence, and withdraw it in London only if the guys in London recognize the documentation - a unique arcane-mark document won't mean much to the folks in London. Now, note that the documentation doesn't need to be on paper. It can be a large stamped coin ("The bearer of this coin is entitled to..."), a graven stone, an engraved sheet of metal - anything can be the standard. A stamped gold bar might represent several times it's own value in metals, for example. [/QUOTE]
