QQ coin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The QQ coin a very virtual currency populized by Tencent QQ in China. It was created by a Chinese Internet company called Tencent Holdings Ltd. to sell such things as virtual flowers for instant-message buddies, cellphone ringtones and magical swords for online games. They are awards for free to top-scoring videogamers. The payment system was made in 2002 to allow its 233 million regular registered users to shop for treats in its virtual world. Virtual currencies are in use in many countries but nowhere have they taken root more deeply than in China.[1] Online currency marketplaces turned the QQ coins back into cash by selling them at a discount that varies based on the laws of supply and demand. The QQ coin retails for one yuan (13 cents) each.
