Are you in a game with no other games in the series (like Codename: Iceman)?
Yes ... and ...

Not a Dynamix game so that rules out most(all?) of the flight sims.
Are you in "Jones in the Fast Lane"? (Banks, loans)

Oi, I've only ever played JitFL once - and not very far.
And so I will need to scour since SC is down!

You can access the pages through archive.org, but it appears that Sierra Chest doesn't have screenshots for "Jones in the Fast Lane". The Sierra Wallpaper page doesn't either, which pretty much just leaves Mobygames, which is where I got this idea:
Don't bank on your future here
I won't leave you a loan
It's rough around the edges!
Are you the coin in the bank building? "Bank" and "loan" are clues to the bank. Some coins are "rough around the edges".

Sorry, I am not the coin.
Clue: I would usually leave a clue here, but you're already so close!

Are you somehow related to the bank?

Are you the piggy bank?

Are you the bank sign? The one in the window that shows up when you enter the bank. It kind of has rough edges.

Sorry, I'm not.
Clue: You're still very close. Keep going!

I'm not sure how "rough around the edges" applies, but:
Are you the banker? The woman you see when you use the bank.

Yes, I am the banker.
"Rough around the edges" applies to the game. It mostly works, if you don't think about it too much, but some things don't make sense. For instance, buying a single burger at Monolith Burger, will set you back anywhere between $70 and $100 ...
... and yet, on the weekend, you can hang out in the mall and fill up on junk food -- and spend $48.
Or, you can take a friend out to a cheap restaurant and spend $16 (for two people). What the heck is that?
That's what I mean by "rough around the edges".
Your turn, NBS!
