Ser Davos is able to persuade the bankers by showing them the fingers that he lost as punishment for his illegal smuggling activities — a punishment passed down from Stannis which demonstrated his accountability.
Ahem.
Reminds me of what Tony meted out as pubishments in the Sopranos - that series was akshully based on stories told by one of the wise guys in Joisee, BTW. the story-line kinda hints at that.
Also, what happens after the Gold runs out, and the workers for said Iron Bank won't accept a 'promise for one' - i.e. the paper dollar?
Make one think about that Fort Knox story that suddenly left the airwaves....
All we have left is rampant debt - all over the world. what happened?
How did Ser Davos convince the Iron Bank?
