used. Since the wire transfers differ for each region, we document here the
ones currently supported by the mint.
+TEST
+----
+
+The TEST wire format is used for testing and for integration with Taler's
+simple "bank" system which in the future might be useful to setup a bank
+for a local / regional currency or accounting system. Using the TEST
+wire format in combination with the Taler's bank, it is thus possible to
+fully test the Taler system without using real currencies. The wire
+format for "TEST" is very simple, in that it only specifies an account
+number in a field "account_number". The account number given must be
+a positive 53-bit integer. Additional fields may be present, but are
+not required.
+
+For the merchant or mint to receive deposits through TEST, the deposit
+request must thus contain a JSON object with the following fields:
+
+ * `type`: the string constant `"TEST"`
+ * `account_number`: the account number of the merchant at the bank
