Just the name ("CurrentC") seems like it's going to lead to numerous Who's-On-First kinds of interactions...

A: "Do you take CurrentC?"

B: "Of course we take currency."

A: [Pulls out CurrentC app.]

B: "Oh, no. We don't do that."

Might do better if it sounded distinct when spoken. Like "Apple Pay."

A: "Do you take Apple Pay?"

B: "No, we only accept payments in currency, not in fruit."

A: [Pulls out CurrentC app.]

B: "We don't take that, either."

[Audience laughter, applause, and scene.]

First time I tried Apple Pay in a McDonald's drive thru I ended up with an apple pie added to my order.
