In the time before the Galactic Civil War, the Corporate Sector featured establishments known as Authority Currency Exchanges. These exchanges facilitated the conversion of atypical commodities and currencies into Authority Cash Vouchers. Individuals could exchange items such as crystalline vertex, valuable stones, rare metals, raw ore, and unusual forms of money. In return, they received an Authority Cash Voucher representing the worth of their goods, after a minor deduction to cover transaction costs. Typically, these Authority Currency Exchanges had minimal staffing, with automated auto-clerks handling the tasks of valuation and voucher dispensing.
