Currency

"The most dangerous weapon in the galaxy is money, Captain."

- Duchess Satine Kryze, to her police captain

Currency referred to money used as a principal medium of exchange within a particular territory, introduced into circulation by the appropriate regional authority on economic policy. Two main currencies existed in the galaxy: the Republic credit, later becoming the Imperial credit, and the Wupiupi, the latter existing almost solely in the Outer Rim Territories.

Several tertiary currencies existed throughout the galaxy, the most prominently accepted, especially as an alternative to the Wupiupi, was the druggat.

A rare substance, the nova crystal, was bartered so frequently that it was considered a form of currency, especially considering its immense value.
