I think of TCredits as 'chits'.

You need a chit to bid on an auction - 1 chit per bid.
Some products you can buy with chits, e.g. buy 'The Art of Drawing Animals' for a dollar ($1) or 7 chits (7 TCredits).
If you want to sell stuff on your TConnect page, it costs 1 chit to load an item onto it.


This explanation works because people recognise the word 'chit'.
They know a chit is like a receipt, a token, a coupon, a voucher, etc.
And they know that you buy a chit, and then use the chit to redeem a product.

Then you simply say, "it's how the SFI system works", and smile.
