In the far flung future, a government system so named 'Perfected Tyranny' came to control all Biological Intelligent Communal Organisms; or aka BICOs.

This government system is perfect, and was created by both the most creative organic minds along with the most advanced and powerful machine ones. Perfected Tyranny is the only government system that allows for strong centralization to fight a war against the solar-energy based beings that hate life (SICOs) as well as personal liberty to each member.

It's currency? Oxygen, or Oxy. Every living things need it to survive, to synthesize water, and many other uses. It's perfect.

>>53737291
What's backing it? What sort of culture is behind the currency?

>>53737291

Well, here's where you get into a bit of a problem; if we're going to be communicating with alien species at all, and want to conduct trade, our universal currency would need a universal name, including a sound that the aliens can make.

I don't know the name of every currency, but I don't know of a single one that's named "currency". If you don't want to go with Credits then none of the suggestions in this thread will help you either. Come up with the name of a place or person several thousand years before your game starts, mutate that name several times as it moves through languages, and that's the name of your currency.

For example "Dollar" comes from:
Joachimsthal
Rijksdaalder
Daler
Dollar
Literally "Joachim's Valley", a place in the now Czech Republic where the silver for the coins was mined.

Since planets often tend to replace cities in scifi, pick the planet the iridium is mined on and use that. If you want to go for a more feudal scifi flavor (the best of both worlds) you could have everybody using iridium money that's named after the planet it's mined on, or named after the local ruler.

Iridium is has a high frequency in asteroids as well. "Asters" has a nice ring to it.

Fuck me I'm dumb today.
Alright, let's try that again:
Bucks, Coins, Bits, in a 1:4:16 ratio.
00000001: 1 Bit
00000100: 4 Bits/1 Coin
00010000: 16 Bits/4 Coins/1 Buck
01000000: 64 Bits/16 Coins/4 Bucks
10000000: 128 Bits/32 Coins/8 Bucks
Anything that can be written in eight bits is called Change. Anything that needs more is called Cash.

As long as it's not Iridium-based since Iridium is way too useful. Have it be backed by something stably valuable and not as eminently useful (which means gold may or may not work, depending on how well people handled finding a shitload of motherlodes on asteroids).

Thaler or Argent, as the Thaler or "Peso de Ocho" was an almost universally accepted Spanish currency and was made of Silver.

I-bills

metal-based.. .. ..

large denominations named plates or PL, almost always limited to exchanges between banks and various financial institutions. The bank, private or government-backed, would issue Slice or SL (alternately known as slips, slivers, some lie or flats) backed by the Plates they held in reserve. A Slice would usually be issued at a fractional value of many thousandths of a Plate. In theory a pile of Slice could be exchanged for a Plate or at least the fraction of it's worth in real metal but this is what is known as a financial understanding, IE a lie.

There is a little bit of currency trading, computerized brokers shifting seas of Slices around electronically as various financial institutions (various money backers) experienced tiny fluctuations in exchange rate due to perceptions of trustworthiness and value.
