The Altairian dollar is the main freely convertible currency in the galaxy, though it has collapsed in value. The other major currencies in the galaxy are the Flanian pobble bead and the Triganic Pu. However, the Flanian pobble bead can only be exchanged for other Flanian pobble beads and the Triganic pu is only exchangeable for ningis, which are described as triangular rubber coins 6800 miles along each side. This renders them unviable, as the banks refuse to deal in “fiddling small change”.
