Bill of exchange

Bill of exchange is a special quest item in , originally intended to be exchanged for crowns at the Vivaldi Bank in Novigrad. Many of them were supposed to appear throughout the game, possibly even as forms of payment for contract quests. However, the entire concept was cut and (functional) bills of exchange don't appear during gameplay, even though the mechanic is fully implemented. There is still one document bearing the same name that is obtainable, but it can't be cashed in.
== Bill of exchange (Emhyr) ==
This is the still obtainable document, received if Geralt accepts payment from Emhyr after bringing Ciri to him in the quest, Blood on the Battlefield.
While it says that it can be exchanged for 100,000 if/after Nilfgaard wins the war, it can't actually be cashed in.
=== Journal entry ===
: I, the undersigned, do hereby solemnly swear that, after the Nilfgaardian Empire's inevitable victory in its current war against the Northern Realms, the witcher Geralt of Rivia, alias the White Wolf, alias Gwynbleidd, alias the Butcher of Blaviken, shall receive payment in the amount of 100,000 Novigrad crowns by way of recompense for services rendered to our Empire and its Emperor.
: The war shall be deemed over once all belligerent parties have signed a peace treaty or the Empire's enemies have all been annihilated and their lands occupied in totum.
: Emhyr var Emreis, Deithwen Addan yn Carn aep Morvudd.
=== Associated quest ===
* Blood on the Battlefield
== Bill of exchange (Vivaldi) ==
This is a version that was cut from the game. It still exists in the game files, but can only be obtained through console commands. The item is fully functional and, if present in the inventory, an extra dialogue option with Vimme Vivaldi will be available: "Got a bill of exchange to redeem." When chosen, Geralt has a short line saying almost exactly the same thing, to which Vivaldi replies with "I'll need a spell to verify that the issuer's credit worthy. But it shouldn't take long." 100 are then received.
It is yet unclear if there was a specific reason why it is tied to Vimme Vivaldi, or if that's simply because his bank is where it is exchanged. Also, despite looking like a readable document (and actually flagged as such), it doesn't have a journal entry and can't be read.
== Notes ==
* In the , a summons to payment has the opposite effect, requiring Geralt to pay his taxes at the bank.
