***Writing annoyance: I'd come up with these 23rd century bar names: Paper Dollar Saloon and Silver Nickel Saloon.
Turns out both are in present-day use in the US.
Replacements: Credit Card Saloon and Silver Loonie Saloon. (Canada's loonies have never been made of silver. I'm assuming people 200 years in the future will be weak on such historical details.)
