Default The Chits are Legit

I respectfully disagree with the premise that ration chits don't make any sense. Others have given very compelling supporting reasons why it does. I'd like to add that chits could also be made out of fabric, or stamped from thin sheet metal.

Using pre-war Polish coins means that the Krakow Rada has less control. A stranger could show up with a cache and potentially destabilize the local economy (inflation) or undermine the authority of the local gov't. The Rada has essentially created a close system. Since the city produces useful trade goods, it doesn't necessarily need a currency accepted elsewhere.
