My guess is that a standard credstick is a little like a USB memory stick.  It can come in a wide array of colors, but it's always clearly cheap plastic.  The silver, gold, and ebony credsticks would look like their metallic and shiny counterparts.  I doubt the material is actual gold, silver, or ebony - that would make them incredibly heavy, and prone to allergens.

Allergy to gold huh? Well, I'll just take that stic off your hands for you...

*hands it to Reaver*  "Namaste."

I suppose I forgot to mention the Alchemical preparation that I put on it, huh?  See, when I just said "Namaste" it activated the preparation, and now you have herpes.  Magical herpes.

Does that magical herpes also affect people who hacked it? Because you left the wireless on, my decker was bored, and...
Certified credsticks are the tool of choice for people who don’t trust wireless transfers or want to avoid leaving any trails....

Whatever color they want to purchase, or whatever color you want them to find.

Meh. Seen it. Had it twice.

Only iches when you pee.....

How do you get that stuff cleaned, since it's 'magic' herpes do you have to go to a 'magic' doctor or can you just have your street mage try to dispel it?
You’re a shadowrunner. You run in the shadows. You don’t run in plain sight.  That’s why we don’t call you a plain-fucking-sight-runner.

It requires cloned body parts and a really trustworthy street doc.

I always assumed a bog standard credstick would be cheap, slightly off- white plastic, as the opposite of the highfalutin' Ebony ones.  Thanks for reminding me that they would be all sorts of custom ones, you just added some more flavor to my Seattle.

I remember when we were starting off as shadowrunners and getting paid for our first time by certified credsticks that we would all roll off to see who keeps the credsticks we were so poor.  Some of us had little keychains for credsticks.

Try taking a peek in the old Neoanarchist's Guide to Real Life. It had a section on the sticks. I believe they are all black except for a ring in one end which determined the limit of the stick.
