Lien never made sense to me. I mean, I know it's the currency for all five kingdoms, but I don't understand how Lien are meant to be used. They're seen with magnet readers on them and Oscar is seen swiping a Lien on a machine, suggesting they're paired with an online database (Which must be going haywire. I mean, with the CCTS down, you could up to quadruple your money by traveling between kingdoms.) and used like credit cards. But we also see people giving others cards and exchanging stacks of cards, indicating each card has an inherent value that is transferred via physical possession of cards.

And before you say that they're completely separate items, I'll submit that both have the same designs, and assorted colors of Lien rule out color as an indication of its type, and all of them have the black stripe on the back. They're all identical.
