Credits

Credits are the standard currency of the Galaxy, existing both in physical and electronic form. While Credits are primarily electronic, there are physical forms that are used in place of electronic transfers when they cannot be used. Physical credits take numerous different forms, but all of them are made from plastics, no matter how metallic or otherwise they may look. Credits have long been the galactic standard for money since the ISA and Axol Union first began trading between each other.

Forms of Credits
There are many different forms of physical Credits.

Credit Coins
Typically used for meager sums of money, credit coins, like their name would imply, are coin shaped. Credit coins come in three main variations which determine their actual value. Copper Credit Coins are worth 5 credits each, Silver Credit Coins are worth 10 credits each, and Gold Credit Coins are worth 15 credits each. Although rare and not commonly found in circulation, so-called ‘Ruby’ Credit Coins are smaller red coins which are worth a minuscule 1 credit each.

Credit Chips
The generally used form of credits, credit chips are larger ‘cards’ of plastic usually covered in patterns. Credit Chips come in many forms. Yellow Credits, Orange Credits, Red Credits, and Gold Credits are all forms of Credit Chips. Yellow Credits are worth 100 credits, Orange Credits are worth 1000 credits, Red Credits are worth 10000 credits, and Gold Credits are worth the mighty sum of 100000 credits. The reason why they are called such is rather self explanatory.
