The way slaves recieve and "handle" money |

"She spit the coins she was carrying in her mouth into her hand, and told me what I wanted to know. Few Gorean garments are deformed by pockets."
Book 1, Tarnsman of Gor, page 165
"'Paga!' called the standing man. 'Paga!' A blonde girl, nude, with a strong of pearls wound about her steel collar, ran to the table and, from the bronze vessel, on its strap, about her shoulder, poured paga into the goblet before the seated man. The fellow who stood by the table, scarcely noticing the girl, placed a tarsk-bit in her mouth, and she fled back to the counter where, under the eye of a paga attendant, she spit the coin into a copper bowl." Book 15, Rogue of Gor, pages 77 - 78
"A coin girl, sent to the streets to earn coins for her Master through sexual service, will wear a small leather bag on a tether around her neck." Book 15, Rogue of Gor, page 78
"The girl did not now, of course, carry a purse. Slave girls are not permitted to carry such things. When shopping she carries the coins usually in her mouth or hand. Sometimes she ties them in a scarf about her wrist or ankle. Sometimes her master places them in a bag, which is then tied about her neck. Gorean garments, generally, incidentally, except for the garments of craftsmen, do not have pockets. Coins, and personal items, and such, are usually, by free persons, carried in pouches, which are usually concealed within the robes of a free woman, or slung about the waist, or shoulder, of a free man." Book 16, Guardsman of Gor, page 250
"I hurried back, elatedly, through the beaded curtain, fleeing, laughing, from the dancing floor. I had scrambled on my knees for the coins flung to the floor, seizing them, thrusting them hastily, so many of them, with one hand, into the lifted, bunched portion, held by my other hand, of the dancing skirt, a lovely swirling skirt, scarlet, open on the right, of diaphanous dancing silk. I had been permitted a scarlet halter of the same material. My midriff, like my right thigh, was bared. The skirt was low on my hips. I wore a double belt of threaded, jangling coins, one strand high, one low, as with the corded belt of metal pieces I had worn in my virgin dance, weeks ago. I also wore a triple necklace of coins, together with necklaces of slave beads, of both glass and wood. These coins, all of them, would be counted by Mirus when I disrobed. On my left ankle were bound slave bells. My right ankle wore several anklets. I was barefoot. On my wrists were bracelets. On my upper left arm was a coiled armlet. A ruby, held by a chain, was at my forehead. Wound in and about my hair were strands of pearls. 'It is a good house tonight,' said Mirus, who was waiting for me. 'Yes Master!' I said happily. I could hear the men still calling out and pounding at their shoulders with appreciation. I looked at Mirus. 'Should I hurry back through the curtain?' 'No,' said he. 'Stay here.' 'Yes Master,' I said. 'Here,' he said holding opon the sack. I emptied the coins from the dancing silk into the sack, and smoothed the skirt. 'You dance well,' he said. " Book 22, Dancer of Gor, page 222
"In most cities, even the touching of money, unless in an authorized situation, is prohibited to slaves." Book 22, Dancer of Gor, page 238
" 'Many Masters,' I said, 'do not permit a slave to so much as touch money. To be sure, they might let her carry coins in an errand capsule, or an errand sack, tied about her neck, instructions to a vendor perhaps also contained within it, her hands braceleted behind her.'" Book 23, Renegades of Gor, page 122
