+====== LoCoins - our virtual currency ======
 ----
-All purchases made in Locus Store are paid in {{:manual:user_guide:ic_locoin_default.png?nolink&20|}} **LoCoins** (LC). That is because some payments are so tiny that in EUR or USD they would be out of payment terms of Google Play Store and each item would require individual in-app billing entry maintenance which would be very time-consuming and bureaucracy-frustrating. LoCoin exchange rate oscillates around 1 EUR (+ VAT for EU countries) = 100 LC.
