As a general rule any economic proposal I make is slightly
under-specified. This is both because the more details you try to cover,
the more things there are to quibble over, and to let it take shape more
naturally/collaboratively.

Spendies in welcome packages are proposed in P9098 (distributed in the
most recent distribution).

A welcome package is a starting set of assets that is (supposed to be)
given to new players so you can start engaging with the economy straight
away without waiting for weekly or monthly timers. It's defined in Rule
2499.

Currently, a welcome package just consists of one stamp of your own
type. In the past at various points it's been a much larger selection of
assets, or sometimes nothing.

I'm not sure why it doesn't currently include any spendies. Maybe an
oversight? I haven't been following the drafting of that subsystem.

See Rule 2499:


Rule 2499/22 (Power=1)
Welcome Packages

  When a player receives a welcome package, if e has not received a
  welcome package, including under any previous definition, since e
  last registered nor in the last 30 days, e gains the following
  assets:
  
  * One stamp of eir own type.
  
  A player CAN, by announcement, cause a specified player to receive
  a welcome package (syn. "grant" em a welcome package).



You now have a stamp of your own type (see R2659 for how stamps work).
