Credits



The credit, formally known as the Galactic Credit Standard, colloquially referred to as Republic Dataries and later known as the Imperial Credit, was the main currency in use in the Galaxy since the time of the Galactic Republic.

One tenth of a credit is called a decicred.

Form


Since its inception, the credit was always a physical currency with both coins and bills being printed. Later, during the height of the Galactic Republic, credit chips became popular. When the Galactic Empire was nearing its end, physical currency regained a gush of popularity because no one knew which side would win out, and they did not want their credit chips to be suddenly worthless. Credit chips, however are back in use, and considered a standard in galactic economy.
