V$ is a form of virtual currency like the L$. The V$ is "Grid Independent", meaning that your V$ account can be used by any of your avatars on any virtual world that supports it. This saves the constant transferring of money from one currency to another as you buy and sell items on different grids. Also it is possible to have a joint account with your business partner or emotional partner.
The V$ to L$ transaction is free and at the exchange rate of 1:1, so for each L$ you give the ATM you get 1 V$ in your account. When you purchase V$ they are kept in an account on the V$ database. You can check the balance on this account at any time using any V$ ATM or V$ Vendor, your Balance will not show in your viewer as L$ or OS$ nor any other currency.
Many Grids have V$ based transactions, you will find that stores supporting V$ will have vendors specifically designed to allow you to touch and purchase from your V$ account.
