Hex (Currency)

Hex is a black market currency which is often used for purchasing stolen goods or funding illicit activities. They are literally hexagonal coins with a Jolly Roger engraved in the center. Certain low-denomination Hex coins are triangular in shape and have a size equal to a triangular 1/6 section of a high-denomination Hex.

Hex for COINs
While it is legal to convert Hex and COINs into each other, the exchange rate is wildly unpredictable, due to the instability of Hex's value. As it is, the moment Hex increases to a profitable value, sales of Hex for COINs cause the value of Hex to drop below profitability within 24 hours, sometimes even within minutes.

Bitz
It is illegal to trade Bitz directly for Hex or vice-versa, although police are more successfully able to track and prosecute someone for selling Bitz and buying Hex than for selling Hex to buy Bitz. This results in most illegal conversions between the currencies being a Black Market trader selling Hex to someone with large amounts of Bitz, usually through money laundering operations.
