At this point, today, despite his remarkably successful wagering, he had not yet turned his winning slips into coins. That could be done later at the guarded money tables, if one were able, if one were alive.

On the other hand, a silver tarsk is a coin of not inconsiderable value. - (Quarry of Gor)
