Third, chip analogy.
As an analogy, credit equivalents can be considered as chips. The casino where chips are issued is the entrance. The customer gives money to the casino (legal tender of the customer->; Gateway), the casino gives customers chips (gateway account number->; Customer account). These chips are marked as follows: 1) the currency (and amount) issued, and 2) the name of the casino that issued the chips. In the star system, the same is true for credit equivalents. Credit equivalent is a combination of "currency/issuer", marked with the amount, which is expressed as the amount object in the agreement. The publisher (casino name) is an address controlled by the gateway. Customers can return their chips to the casino at any time and convert them into cash.
