Bitcoin typically garners most of the coverage in the mass-media when it comes to virtual currency (aka "digital currency"), in part because it was the first fully implemented currency of its kind. It has also become the largest virtual currency in terms of total market value.

In addition, we've also included notes on a handful of other virtual currencies that have some interesting stories behind them. Enjoy!
