The servo recycled food robot gets on the wrong side of Stallone’s Dredd. He has no desire to insert some creds. Underneath the glossy(ish) veneer of automated vending he finds a human. A hacker no less who amongst other things has previous for interfering with cash machines, so they are still around in 2139. A cashless society is clearly a way off.

Some people are just made of money…some food is just made of…
I am not sure of the name of the currency other than just D’s. If anyone can enlighten me that would be lovely.
