Mark Twain Bankshares (St. Louis) is the first bank to offer Digicash electronic money. It is one of the few American banks that accepts small deposits in a wide variety of foreign currencies. . [NYT, 10/23/95, C4. EDUPAGE.]

Digicash works like a debit card or virtual ATM. The bank issues "electronic coins" or "ecash" with unique serial numbers, in encryption envelopes. Denominations are as low as $.05. The bank won't know where you shop or what you buy, but it can validate the coins and detect duplicates. It can also re-issue the coins if your computer crashes, if you know the seed value you initially supplied. The originator of ecash can be identified, making it easy to intercept stolen or extorted currency. . [WEBster, 10/31/95.]
