Whether they are a tube or a truck. It's funny, it's disconcerting. It's like listening to the rapping granny.
I'm not going to get all political here. But this is just 17 different kinds of wrong. And now it's all over the Internets.
Could you please enumerate all of the ways this is wrong Heather? Because all I can see is one big "nyuh unh".
What is a "nyuh unh"?
You seriously can't tell what is wrong with that transcript? Has anyone sent you an internet lately? You know, through the tubes, not the truck.
Seriously, if that's your attempt to tell us you don't think it's ridiculous…puhleez.
Although I don't think it's going to go as far as Al Gore's vision of inventing the Internet or Dan Quayle's "Potatoe" (do you remember the poor kid who didn't want to ad an "e" on the end?), it's pretty good political humor. And we all need to laugh at our politicians, so we don't cry our eyes out.
Tim, I absolutely agree. I love to poke fun at Al Gore's claim. The thing abuot this particular one though is that goes on for so long. I just want to say "Buddy, you don't even know the difference between an e-mail and the internet; please don't try to describe net neutrality".
I can think of a whole range of things I would struggle to explain, but I have the sense to not to try in the first place.
I watched Mr.Chairman's comment on 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart' and was under the impression that it was a fake news.But later I realised that it was very true.
Being and Immigrant and working for IT sector I am really shocked and appalled with Chairman's speech.
Does the House have a criteria for selecting the Chairman or do they select people who are watching only Sci-Fi channels from 1970's…
Bhaskar- that is a good question! Maybe they just have to have a phone that doesn't have a rotary dial. Or they have to have ridden in a car ; )
Yeah, Senator Stevens plants his head firmly up his rear-end with this one. I saw it last week and started to post about it, but honestly just got too irritated when I found out that he's the Chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation..after that I blew it off in disgust.
By the way, check out the pictures of Ted and his wife on his site (http://stevens.senate.gov/gallerydisplay.cfm?gid=27). Is it just me or does his wife look more like she should be his daughter? :-O
Yeah, she sure does. Being someone who likes older men myself (younger ones too…harhar), I'd say that there seems to be a significant age gap or else she has done a great job of taking care of herself.
I wonder if there are just some senators that aren't suited for any committees and they have to slate them somewhere and to reward them for their flexibility, they give them the chairmanship.
I can understand someone being on a committee and not being expertly articulate on the details (there can be a gap between understanding and articulating…I'm trying to be kind here). But the degree of cluelessness is astounding oops, so much for the kindness). And you don't need a technical background to know when to clam up.
Older or younger, eh? Too funny!
You hit the nail on the head with "know when to clam up." Either have a statement prepared by someone who knows what they're talkin about or just keep your trap shut.
Yeah, most important is that they think I am fascinating but act indifferent (hah! and my family wonders why I am still single!).
About having a statement prepared…beware the follow up question! Press release!
Press release? But the press release, uh, it's on paper, it's uh a series of dots on paper, and the dots, uh, the dots just spray all over the paper, and when they're done there are words on the paper. See, I know how the words get on the paper, one of my staffers sent me words on paper the other day, and when I asked him how the words got on the paper he told me. But what I'm, uh, where do the words come from before they go on the paper? They can't, uh, deliver words in a truck, so where do they come from – oh, uh, yes, the tubes, they fall through the Internets, uh, the tubes, and they fall on the paper. But one of my staffers told me the words, uh, the letters, the dots, there are more e dots in there, more dots that want to be the letter e, so when they fall through the tubes, they clog the tubes, all those dots that want to be in the letter e. So those dots should cost more than the dots that only want to be other letters, like c or 8. So then we can pay for bigger tubes so the dots can fall through without clogging those tubes too much, uh, clogged tubes are bad for you. But this way the companies will have lots of money to give to, uh, to my campaign, uh, oh, you just don't understand me!
Oh Senator, you are very funny. Your dot matrix printer is so web 2.0
Senator Ted Stevens won the bake-off with his post-modern, dadaistic impression of an intelligent legislator as he argued in committee against net neutrality with his stunning metaphorical grasp of how the Internet works. Of course, it is all the mor
Nice post Paul ; )
I realized I was already writing my blog, just doing it on other sites. That made it easy. Hope your mom likes it.

Picking at food all day and not being able to stop, eating large amounts without really noticing and eating to cheer yourself up can all be signs of bingeing.

Paul Harrison (Sean Bury) and Michelle Latour (Anicée Alvina) return as the good-looking youngsters who have run off from their adults to try to enjoy their true love, in producer-director Lewis Gilbert's welcome 1974 sequel to his unexpected popular hit Friends (1971).
But trouble in paradise is brewing after Michelle has a baby, Paul is sent to school in England and Michelle thinks he might not be being faithful.
Gilbert also provides the story for his cute, tasteful teen romance, which is aimed fairly and squarely at young audiences, and hits the target. It may be a bit plain and simple, but one of the best cinematographers in the business, Claude Renoir, certainly makes it look a treat with the help of Pierre Guffroy's lovely production designs, and Michel Colombier's score is another asset.
It is written by Vernon Harris and Angela Huth.
Also in the cast are Keir Dullea, Ronald Lewis (as Sir Robert), Catherine Allégret, Georges Beller, Anne Lonnberg, Sara Stout, Steve Gilbert, Anthony Clarke, Peggy Frankston, Peter Graves, Toby Robins and André Maranne.
Sean Bury made only one more film, The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), as an HMS Ranger crewman, and in July 2004 was in London teaching children with special needs. His first film is If… (1968).
aged 53.
Lewis Gilbert was born on 6 March 1920 in London, best known for directing The Spy Who Loved Me ('the highlight of my career'), You Only Live Twice (1967) and Moonraker (1979) as well as Educating Rita (1983).
It is the last feature of Fifties star Ronald Lewis, who was declared bankrupt at the start of the Eighties and committed suicide by a drugs overdose on 11 January 1982, aged 53, in Pimlico, London.

14th Annual 10 Mile / 5 Mile Trail Race
A winter challenge on character trails. Often muddy, wet and slippery. Two distances to choose from, with a classic climb to the summit of Stewart Mountain on the long course.
Again for 2017 — Racers and volunteers are invited to the Six Mile Pub post-race to warm up and enjoy complimentary snacks and a chance at draw prizes.
2016 saw snowy/slushy conditions, but this did not deter the hardy racers
2017 Stewart Mountain Online Registration
- 2014 Stewart Mountain Course Map - may yet see more new single track sections
- 2015 Stewart Mountain Course Map - so did we deliver?
Results — 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012: 10 Mi 5 Mi | 2013: 10 Mi 5 Mi | 2014: 10 Mi 5 Mi | 2015: 10 Mi 5 Mi | 2016: 10 Mi 5 Mi
Thetis Lake Park, Victoria BC. Start and finish near main beach.
Park in the main lot at the end of Six Mile Road, or cycle the Galloping Goose trail and park at the beach.
Distance / Sanctioning
The classic long course is approximately 10 Miles (16 km) and the shorter course approximately 5.5 Mile (8.8 km). This cross country event is sanctioned by BC Athletics.
Start Times
The main start for the long course is 11:30 a.m. An early start option of 11:00 a.m. is available for those expecting to take over 2 hours. If you are new to the race, we suggest using your road half marathon time as a guide.
The main start for the short course remains at 12:00 noon.
Main and secondary trails of Thetis Lake Park featuring mud, rocks and water crossings over rolling terrain, with a significant climb to the top of Stewart Mountain for the 10-mile route only.
The 2014 outbound route was largely unchanged from the previous few years, but the return route featured new single track trails: a descent down Scafe Hill (for the long course) and an all-new loop for both distances that includes "Mossy Trail". 2015 saw several more kilometers of single track.
The 2015 course saw a reversal of the inbound & outbound segments between "Two Trees" and the aid station at "Dog Bone Junction" saving the big puddle for the return. On the long course this was after the hinted 2+ km of sweet new single track to the west and a short reprise of a double track to the aid station. Unfortunately the later small bridge & "Old Mossy" single track loop had to be sacrificed to keep from adding even more distance & time. Actual 2015 Course Map
The 2016 course had more of the traditional shorter double track on the return as the recent snow hid planned single track sections.
Courses will be well-marked and marshaled but participants are responsible for watching for directional indicators at all times.

text: The North Jungle is the Heroes' largest and most intensive route. Many of our neediest clients reside in this area, either hunkered down beneath the roaring hubbub of I-5 or tent-camping in small groups along the heavily forested slope of Beacon Hill. We pack supplies in on our backs, climbing steep muddy inclines and navigating twisted trails through dense brush to locate the various camps of our clients. At other times we trek along the dark and dusty areas beneath the highway, where many individuals seek refuge from the elements. Despite living outdoors, many of our North Jungle clients do not even have a tent to their name. Some possess only the clothes on their back and a tattered sleeping bag. As a consequence, our support is welcomed with great enthusiasm. Often the food we bring in ends up being the only thing our clients have to eat for that day, and other essential supplies like socks are always in high demand.

Outfit your guest room, master bedroom, or child's room with beds from Overstock.com that suit your space needs and personal style. Classic platform bed frames made of metal or wood deliver minimalist style and reliable functionality, while elaborate upholstered headboards and iron frames with vintage designs or romantic swirls set a specific design tone in your bedroom. Models from Picket House and South Shore help you keep your room tidy with convenient under-bed storage, while daybeds from Hillsdale and DHP easily accommodate overnight guests. Minimize the footprint of your furniture with a Murphy bed from Bestar that folds up and out of the way during the day, or make your sleeping space the center of attention with a sleigh bed or canopy bed from Furniture of America or Baxton Studio.
Received bed in 2 different packages on 2 consecutive days(3 days after ordering online). 1 package contained headboard and the other was bed frame. Package contained all the items required for the bed assembly. But manual was little difficult to understand as headboard has 1 manual and bed frame has another manual, both containing step1 and step2. We followed headboard manual first and then bed frame manual. After that followed the combined manual. There is 1 set of nails in headboard box and the other one in bedframe box. If you mix up those, it may lead to confusion(By looking at the manual, arrange all nails of different sizes separately). It was little to difficult to assemble the bed. But the final result was overwhelming. We liked the bed and the quality of it. I would recommend it to my friends.
nice bed, but i did not know what a platform bed was until now, way too low to the floor, i feel like im sleeping on the floor, wish i would have saved box it came in, i would return it. nice bed, i just did not do my research on a platform bed, should be called low-rider bed
The bed is pretty and great for the price but remember you get what you pay for. The bed is overall sturdy but the headboard is a little less sturdy than I would like. Perfect for a guest bed.

Bike Miami Valley's mission is simple: to advocate, promote, and create opportunities or all forms of cycling in the Miami Valley region. The success of the mission and the ability for us to be effective is dependent on the actions of advocates out in the community making a difference.
The work of not only creating a non-profit but running one can be a hefty dose full of dull tasks that sometimes detract from the reason why we got involved in this movement to begin with, because we love to ride our bikes. The intention is to help local advocacy groups or chapters to spark change much faster.
What the region also needs is a unified voice, reflective of the communities surrounding our great paved trail system, not a sprawling network of separate groups with widespread inefficiencies to detract from the overall goal – bicycle friendliness. By being one collective entity with supporters on the ground, sharing the same message, we are able to cover the local and regional issues and are better poised to have a greater citizen mass, a focused vision, and a stronger voice to improve bicycling no matter where someone lives.
The Bike Miami Valley Chapter program is based on a mutually beneficial strategy. By creating joint memberships, revenue sharing, administrative support, and communication outlets we become an efficient and effective grassroots organization and a support network for all things cycling-related for our community partners.
The goal is to achieve victories related to improving bicycling in the Miami Valley. No one appreciates being told what to do on their own turf. And each community has different characteristics with unique advantages to address their needs.
Won't you consider joining your local Chapter or starting a new one in your city? Become a member or contact us today about how to get started organizing.

In the weekly feature called "e-views," we invite readers to answer a question via email or on Facebook.
Last week's question:
Brentwood is looking into building a larger library. How pleased are you with the library facilities in your city? What kind of changes would you like to see?
THE Internet killed the library.
Rick Cendejas
BOTH AS A Brentwood Library patron and volunteer, most days I find the library is bursting at the seams. And, it is a happy, secure place where seniors to small children enjoy what the library has to offer. Most computers are in use, patrons wait in line for assistance, and if you're lucky, you can hear the giggles of children during story time. Brentwood is deserving of a new library as soon as possible.
Louise Massante
BY EVERY STANDARD, it clearly has been too small for years. And, the population is expected to continue to grow. Libraries are no longer a place where you go just to check out a book. The modern library is really a place of learning for residents of all ages, classrooms for learning how to use a tablet or smart phone, meeting rooms, for groups of students to cooperate on a school project, comfortable seating for people to relax and read a magazine. There are lots of computers for those who cannot afford access to the Internet from home.
Electronic books may reduce the number of books on shelves but they will not replace the modern library. Visit any library built in five years and you will experience the kind of space described above. The proposed library for Brentwood is consistent with our needs. Let's find a way to build it.
Mort Morgenstern
THERE ARE TWO things I would really appreciate in an expanded library space: a meeting room that could hold perhaps 30 or so people and an expanded reference book area with study table space.
I love Brentwood Library and use it regularly including Book Ends reading club and reserved book pickups of books ordered online.
Rosemary Harrison
Discovery Bay
BRENTWOOD'S LIBRARY IS tiny. It is only one-fourth the size of the average Contra Costa County library, as related to population. And it's awkwardly laid out, so that people can't find what they're looking for. It is very popular, as residents check out more books, ebooks and videos than in other local towns. People flock to the children's and teens programs, and residents use the public access computers heavily, yet there's not enough space to add more programs or computers. A new, larger library can serve as a community focal point.
Shirley Peck
This week's question:
The police chiefs in Brentwood and Antioch discussed the struggle to boost police staffing to previous levels in delivering reports on crime trends recently. What do you think of the police staffing situation in your city and the impact it has on public safety?
Email your response to email@example.com. or post on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/BrentwoodNews. Please limit responses to a few sentences, and be sure to include your full name and city of residence.
Not all responses will be published. Note: Please respond before Monday, May 5.

And, with Easter about a week away, I picked up the new Easter Basket set for some sweet treats! I just think this set is too fun for words because of the fact that you can build your own basket with treats you like! Jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, eggs... even PEEPS!
I colored my basket with Copics. I honestly just grabbed a marker here and a marker there. The only thing I am certain of is that the basket was done with Flourishes Flesh Tones 2 collection. the paper is from my dp stash -- just bits and pieces here and there. And, when all was said and done, I did glitz up the basket goodies with a dash of glitter glue!
The ribbon was paper pieced and... here's a fun effect! I stamped the basket, colored it a second time and cut just the basket portion and popped it up -- like this! I did that so that when you look at it, it looks more three dimensional! FUN! And that, my friends is it!
Be sure to stop by and say hi to the other Flourishes gals and see what set they picked up for their Friday creations!
As we speak, I'm off soaking in some "hot wadda" as they say! I kidnapped the family and we are taking a dip in the hot springs that aren't too far away. Every now and then you just have to say -- ok -- everyone get in the car!!!!! Don't you think?

Cape Buffalo (also known as African Buffalo; full name: African Cape Buffalo) are creatures that appear in The Lion King media.
Physical Description
Cape buffalo are considerably large and thickly-muscled. Males can grow to be up to 1.7 meters high and 3.4 meters long. Buffalo averagely weigh in-between 500 and 900 kilograms. Males are normally larger than females. Most buffalo have dark eyes, while their fur color varies between different shades of brown, black, and gray. Upon reaching adulthood, most male buffalo have black or dark brown coats, while females tend to have more reddish coats. Calves of both genders have red coats. Interestingly, the front hooves of a buffalo are wider than the rear, which is associated with the need to support the weight of the front part of the body, which is more powerful than the back.[1] All buffalo have horns.
The Lion King
Cape buffalo make their first and only appearance at Simba's presentation during the "Circle of Life" sequence. Years later, their bones can be seen scattered around the Pride Lands, due to Scar's poor reign. It can be assumed they return for the presentation of Simba's cub at the end of the film.
The Lion King II: Simba's Pride
Cape buffalo return for the presentation of Kiara and "Upendi." They later appear in "Not One of Us," in which they help to drive Kovu out of the Pride Lands. It can be assumed they return to Pride Rock for Simba's acceptance of the Outsiders into his pride.
The Lion King 1½
Cape buffalo are seen at Simba's presentation. Due to Pumbaa's flatulence, they fall over in a dead faint, giving the appearance that they're bowing to the new prince.
The Lion King: Six New Adventures
The cape buffalo also made a few appearances in the novels.
A Tale of Two Brothers
- "There's only one water hole left, and Boma and the other cape buffaloes won't let me near it."
- ―A leopard complains to Ahadi
In A Tale of Two Brothers, it is revealed that the Pride Lands are suffering from a terrible drought. Many Pridelanders are complaining about Boma and his herd, as they are hogging the last water source left in the Pride Lands. When Mufasa tries to sort things out with Boma, Taka purposely angers the cape buffalo, who begins to chase Mufasa. The young lion manages to evade the buffalo and Boma falls into a ravine. Meanwhile, the rest of his herd sneak up on and attack Taka. Before Mufasa can save his brother, the buffalo give him a ravaging scar across his left eye. Ahadi arrives on the scene and the buffalo are scolded for their aggressive behavior. The Lion King then sends an elephant to help Boma out of the ravine.
Follow the Leader
- Zazu: "It's those cape buffaloes again. They're hogging the waterhole. The hippos are hopping mad."
Simba: "I thought I told those buffaloes to move over."
Zazu: "The buffaloes show no signs of shuffling, sire. You know how buffaloes can be. Big, nasty creatures."
- —Simba and Zazu about cape buffalo
When Zazu is reporting to Simba, he tells him that the cape buffalo are hogging the waterhole again. Simba protests that he's already told them to move, but Zazu reminds him that buffalo aren't always trustworthy.
How True, Zazu?
- "Well, I'm ready for this fight. My grandparents were taken by them years ago. I have never forgotten that awful attack."
- ―Boma about a legendary army ant attack
While flying over the Pride Lands, Zazu recalls a distant memory of a buffalo stampede. During a fierce storm, a pack of hyenas had attacked the buffalo herd and caused the great mass of animals to stampede towards Pride Rock. Zazu had reported to Mufasa, who ordered him to get the elders to safety. Together, the two saved the pride and evaded the dangerous stampede.
In addition, Boma is seen frequently throughout this book. When a hoard of army ants invades the Pride Lands, Mufasa instructs a group of Pridelanders, including Boma, to help push rocks off Zulu Falls to drown the ants and stop the invasion.
Notable Cape Buffalo
- Boma is the leader of his cape buffalo herd.
- Kula is a cape buffalo from Simba and Nala Help Bomo.
- Vuruga Vuruga is the leader of her cape buffalo herd.

Government declines dualling money for York
3:38pm 1st March 2012
A request for the money the Government hasn't paid York for a council tax freeze has been declined.
Council Leader James Alexander made a call for the £1.8m to be committed towards kick-starting the dualling of sections of York's outer ring road, but his letter has received a negative response.
When making the request, Coun. Alexander explained to the Chancellor, George Osborne, that the council would consider match-funding the sum requested.
Coun. Alexander says:
"After writing to George Osborne asking for the Government's council tax funding option to be spent on kick-starting traffic alleviation along the northern ring-road, one of his Ministers has written back with a refusal. It's very disappointing that the Government has declined this request and fair treatment for York, by refusing to give us the money that has been promised to other councils to start work on this long-term aspiration.
"I have been arguing for some time the case for devolution on transport funding to the local level with Ministers, for which there is cross-party support across the region.
"Julian Sturdy is right about congestion being a barrier to economic growth and for this reason the Labour Council has agreed a £28.5m Economic Infrastructure Fund to pay for new park and rides, modern buses and highways infrastructure, all essential in their own ways to economic growth. It is therefore surprising given Julian Sturdy's position that Conservative councillors tried to scrap this funding.
"If the Government really wants to help us tackle York's congestion, they should give us this funding".

The 2015 NFL Draft is tonight, and the excitement of Draft Day will be available in Madden Ultimate Team (MUT) as well.
Thursday, April 30, not only marks the beginning of 32 promising NFL careers, but it also marks the first time that players can take the field with first round draft picks in Madden NFL 15.
MUT players can unlock a valuable Elite edition Player by completing a Set with a few Collectibles and Player Item from Packs. This is the only way to play with the new NFL draftees in Madden NFL 15!

- New team Draft Collectibles were also be added to Packs on the night of Wednesday, April 22. Players can collect all 32 teams, or trade for their favorites. Team Draft Collectibles cannot be auctioned, but they can be traded.
- These Collectibles are needed to complete the NFL Draft Sets coming on Thursday, April 30. The Team Draft Collectible has to match the NFL Team that drafted the Player in order to complete the Set.
- Non-tradeable NFL Draft Badge Collectibles are also be available in Solo Challenges, which can be used to complete player-specific Sets on the night of the NFL Draft.
- On Draft Night (tonight), the MUT Team will be adding special edition Player Items for each first-round draft choice into Packs for you to collect.
There will be plenty of action tonight, with each first-round pick ushering in different items in MUT. A new Set will be available as each first-round pick is made, and players can add Items to receive a valuable Elite edition of the player.
The new sets tonight will consist of the following:

- Base edition Player Item for that player
- Several NFL Draft Badge Collectibles
Will you be watching this year's draft and collecting items in MUT? Let us know what you hope to get tonight!

Toting Up Capital Gains and Losses
December 12, 2001
One of the most important things taxpayers can do this time of year to minimize their tax bite is realize some capital losses. They also need to pay close attention to their mutual funds, because fund managers have a lot to say about whether fund investors have taxable gains or losses for the year.
Capital gains and losses are treated asymmetrically. While all net gains are taxed, the deductibility of losses is limited.
- Under current law, taxpayers first deduct any short-term gains -- on assets held less than a year -- against short-term losses.
- Net short-term gains are taxed like ordinary income at rates up to 39.6 percent.
- Similarly, long-term gains, those over one year, are netted against long-term losses and taxed at a maximum rate of 20 percent.
- After this, net short-term losses are used to offset net long-term gains, and if an investor has an aggregate loss, up to $3,000 of it can be deducted from ordinary income.
The most important problem with this system is that it discourages risk-taking. Economists have long argued that capital losses should be fully deductible against ordinary income. Investors are going to have a lot of losses this year. The combined value of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange is down $1.5 trillion since January 1, and the NASDAQ is down another $1.1 trillion.
The law allows taxpayers with excess losses to carry them forward to future years, but that makes them much less valuable than those that can be deducted immediately.
Mutual fund investors can often find themselves with taxable gains even when the value of their funds has fallen, because all realized gains and losses on stocks owned by mutual funds are attributed directly to fund investors.
If fund managers realized a lot of gains this year, but held on to losses, investors could find themselves with big tax bills even though they lost money.

As I peruse the blogs and message boards, I frequently read words like "monopoly" and "oligopoly" in reference to airlines. And those are the nice things. I did pretty well in college Econ, but I'll stay away from preaching on the economic status of airlines. One thing I won't stay away from is this – a lot of us had gotten so accustomed to airlines as quasi-public utilities without the quasi-public rate setting that we thought what was happening around us was normal.
A lot of people that I have a tremendous amount of respect for are having a difficult time transitioning along with airline companies. I actually had a friend of mine say to me that we need a bad recession, oil shock or some other calamity to put the airlines in their place. Really? It would be easy to say that I've consumed the airlines' "kool aid" or am otherwise biased. Perhaps I am biased, but the only thing I think I'm biased about is that no company, be it an airline or a donut shop, owes me their profitability. They owe me a product that I decide to give them money for, and that's it. If they're not offering something I desire, I am free to walk away.
Most airlines are being managed like normal businesses, and that is a characteristic that is far past overdue. Sooner or later, something will test the new found discipline of airline managers, and how they react will be telling. Just as telling will be how those of us that travel react if this new "paradigm" proves to be the real thing.

It was well taken care of so it is in good condition. The engine runs great and it cuts great. The whole machine is barely broken in. It will have undergone a full tune up before it is picked up. The machine is currently located in Manchester Vermont and shipping to Long Island is possible. Please pm me with any questions and I will answer them. I have seen and used the machine and I can ensure it everything works perfectly. The price is $7000 picked up and shipping to Long Island or anywhere in between can be arranged for extra.

"Another day, another septim."Money is an important part of daily life, and fiction is no different. And fictional settings often use fictional currency. Inventing a fictional currency helps establish a setting as unique, and when done well it builds immersion. Of course, when done poorly, it can have the opposite effect having an unexpected or unexplained reference to a made-up word that means "money" can be confusing or distracting. Often, a fictional currency will be roughly equivalent in value to a real-life one; this saves the writer the effort of having to do conversion rates mentally. The most common targets for this treatment tend to be the dollar or the yen. This is occasionally explicit, as with the double dollar or the nuyen. The zeni (or zenny) is a popular name for fictional currencies in Japanese media. Occasionally, the name of a recherché and/or archaic real world currency name will be borrowed: e.g. the Cardassian lek (Albania), the Centauri ducat (Republic of Venice and elsewhere), or the guilders in Andromeda (pre-Euro Netherlands). Compare Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp", though Justified in that one generally expects there to be different names for different currencies. Contrast GoldSilverCopper Standard, where the money used isn't a currency at all, but precious metals are used instead; the two may overlap when different names are given to the appropriate coins. Compare and contrast with Energy Economy, where energy, either a real form, or fictional is used for currency. Examples are often a Global Currency. We Will Spend Credits in the Future is a Science Fiction-specific subtrope. See also Weird Currency and Practical Currency.

- Bleach uses kan, which serves as Soul Society's official currency.
- Cowboy Bebop uses woolongs, which are roughly equal to yen. Its symbol (₩) is even similar to the yen symbol (¥), with the Y replaced by a W — ₩ is incidentally also the currency symbol for the North Korean won and South Korean won.
- Dragon Ball uses zeni.
- Fairy Tail uses Jewels.

- Belly/Beli/Beri/Berry are used throughout the ocean-going world, and are roughly equal to yen/pennies; a loaf of bread is 150 belly, designer clothing is 10,000 to 28,800, a cheap weapon is 50,000, a rare one is a million, a secondhand ship is a hundred million, etc. Every pirate seen in the series has a bounty of at least five million on their head.

- Outlaw Star use wong.
- Trigun uses double dollars (and c-cents are mentioned once); as expected, they're generally equivalent to dollars. In fact, there's some indication that the name came from misinterpretation of the original name of the currency.
- Sword Art Online has multiple in-universe instances of this, depending on which VRMMO it applies to.
- "Col" for SAO

- Snow White with the Red Hair uses a currency called "dill." As far as calculating its value, six hundred thousand dill was considered to be a pretty pricey sum but not to an outrageous extent, so it's probably based off of the actual Japanese yen.
- Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o! uses "eris" as currency, which also happens to share a name with a local goddess in the setting's pantheon.
Comic Books
- In Groo the Wanderer, kopins seem to be a Global Currency.
- The Transformers features shanix, which is used either a Cybertronian currency or a galactic one used by most space-faring civilizations. The exact details differ based on the specific continuity.
Fan Fic
- Calvin and Hobbes: The Series mentions that the planet Zok uses geekoids, froiks, and sandlumbs, which are implied to be akin to pennies, dollar bills, and hundred-dollar bills, respectively.
Films — Animated
- Zootopia: The Zootopian dollar has a picture of a deer on it (pun on "buck") and is symbolised by a Z with a line through it.
Films — Live-Action
- The Live-Action Adaptation of The Flintstones used sand dollars instead of clams.
- In John Wick, the criminal underworld uses a separate system of gold coins for transactions, whether it's paying for a Cleanup Crew to get rid of a body or simply gaining entrance to a bar. Its value relative to real currency is intentionally vague and inconsistent, as according to the directors, its status as an "in the know" token for the underworld is more important than an exchange rate; if you're worried about how much something costs, you're not truly part of the world of assassins.
- The main currency in Star Wars is Republic (and later Imperial) credits, but other currencies (such as druggats on Tatooine in The Phantom Menace) show up occasionally.
- The Street Fighter movie has "Bison dollars", a currency created by the Big Bad M. Bison. He declares that they're worth five British pounds each — or will be, when he kidnaps the queen and forces the Bank of England to set that as the exchange rate. Other characters, like Sagat, are less than pleased with being paid in Bison dollars.
- The unit of currency in The Sword and the Sorcerer is the Talon. Which coincidentally — or perhaps not coincidentally — is also the name of the movie's hero.
- In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it's implied that "simoleons" are an actual Fictional Currency used in Toontown, rather it being just a slang term for dollars.
- In Vladimir Vasilyev's Antarctica Online, after the new Antarctic Republic is formed, the Antarcticans try to decide on the currency for their country. Those who originally came from Australia demand that a dollar be used, while Brits want a pound. Russians want a ruble, etc. Eventually, they settle for a currency that is no longer used in order to please everyone. Thus the Antarctic taler (the word "dollar" originally came from "taler") or antaler is born.
- In The Balanced Sword, the unit of currency in the lands that look to the Dragon Throne is the "scale".
- Brandon Sanderson uses these in the various settings within The Verse most of his works are set in, The Cosmere.
- In Mistborn: The Original Trilogy, the Final Empire uses "boxings", which are small gold coins. "Clips" are also mentioned as the smallest denomination of coinage, though they're not physically described. Three thousand boxings is considered an absolute fortune by most people's standards — far more than entire crew of skilled thieves could possibly earn in an entire year. To the nobility and the government, though, it's relatively small change.
- The Stormlight Archive has currency called "spheres", consisting of gemstones encased in glass. Value depends on the type and size of the gem (the spheres themselves are all the same size). The denominations (from lowest to highest) are "chips", "marks", and "broams", with emeralds being the most valuable stone and diamonds the least. Spheres infused with Stormlight (which makes them glow) are also more valuable because it's a guarantee that they're not counterfeit. (Infused spheres also make convenient sources of light.)
- A Brother's Price has "crowns", which are implied to be made of gold. There may be other, smaller currency units, but they are not mentioned.
- In The Chronicles of Narnia, Narnian coins are Lions and Trees, which may correspond to "gold" and "silver" though this isn't specified. Calormen uses crescents and minims; one minim = 1/40 crescent.
- Discworld:
- Ankh-Morpork uses dollars, but coins less than that are shillings, pence, ha'pennies and even smaller fractions of a penny like elims (1/16th of a penny), which can apparently get you a small and mostly edible potato in some parts of the city.
- Morporkian currency appears based on several archaic currency systems on Earth, including pre-decimalisation British which is as weird and unearthly as you'll find anywhere. Or perhaps more so. A discussion of the weirdness of Ankh-Morpork currency is here and on the associated discussion page.
- The other major currency on the Disc is the rhinu (a play on the archaic British slang term "rhino") the currency of the Agatean Empire. Since Agatea is filled with Worthless Yellow Rocks, a rhinu is a solid gold coin used as small change.
- Various other countries on the Main Continent have dollars which probably aren't the same as AM$. Currencies with different names include the Uberwaldean bizot, the Omnian obol, the Ecksian squid and the Hershebian half-dong. The stamps add the Klatchian wol, the Djelibeybian talon, the Ephebian derechmi, and the Llamedese ffyrling.
- Ankh-Morpork uses dollars, but coins less than that are shillings, pence, ha'pennies and even smaller fractions of a penny like elims (1/16th of a penny), which can apparently get you a small and mostly edible potato in some parts of the city.
- In The Elric Saga as our hero travels the world, there are lots of different currencies and systems. Elric's home country, Melniboné, has a large gold coin called a wheel. It is not minted, but "carved by craftsmen to a design both ancient and intricate". These rare coins are not used outside the home country and are prized even by the nobility of Melniboné. They are called "the currency of kings". The Chaosium games based on Elric's stories describe them as palm-sized medallions of pure gold, each created to commemorate an Emperor. They weigh about 20 pounds and are not used as money. In one of the stories there is also mention of coins set with gems.
- Gor has Tarn Disks/Tarsks, which use the GoldSilverCopper Standard.
- In Zilpha Keatley Snyder's Green-Sky Trilogy the tree-dwelling Kindar have a moneyless communism but a society based on honor ranking. Most goods and commodities are stored in warehouses and available to all at need, but certain things (e.g., made of rare materials or that take more time to make) are reserved for those of high rank. Down in the caves, the capitalist Erdlings use tokens, earned by service. With enough of them, you can buy anything you want. After the Rejoyning, this causes annoying clashes as Erdlings try to buy elegant items usually reserved for the highest rank. The tokens are used by all in The Game of the Book.
- In Harry Potter, wizarding Britain uses galleons, sickles and knuts; overlaps with Gold Silver Bronze Standard.
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
- In The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, a group of people have crash-landed on an uninhabited planet. They decide to adopt the leaf as their currency. The upside: Everyone immediately becomes fantastically rich. The downside: it costs approximately three entire forests to buy one peanut. The solution: burn down all the trees.
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy also mentions a few galactic currencies, all of which have fallen into disfavor: The Altairian Dollar (due to inflation), the Flanian Pobble Bead (due to being only exchangeable with other Flanian Pobble Beads) and the Triganic Pu (because one Pu is equal to 8 Ningis, and as a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin 6000 miles on a side, nobody has ever been able to acquire enough Ningis to make one Pu ... and the interplanetary banks refuse to accept Ningis in trade because they consider them "fiddling small change").
- It's mentioned briefly in Mikhail Akhmanov's Invasion that, in 2042, the American dollar and the euro were replaced by a unified currency known as the eular. It's stated that other currencies still exist, such as the British pound, the ruble, the yuan, the yen, the rupee, and the peso.
- The Kingkiller Chronicle makes Harry Potter's coinage look downright sane, with "marks," "talents," "drabs," "shims," "jots", "pennies" in both copper and iron, and more, getting mixed up in the main character's purse. This is what happens when there are multiple standardized currencies in your setting: it's realistic, but confusing as hell. External wiki link.
- Robert A. Heinlein's books have several examples.
- In Citizen of the Galaxy, part of which focuses on an interstellar trading vessel, has different currencies for each of the various political bodies they travel through (when they aren't dealing with primitive planets and bartering instead). The two most notable examples are minims and stellars (10 minims being 1 stellar) in the Nine Worlds and credits among other things in the Terran Hegemony.
- In Friday, the eponymous character mentions that the city-state of Las Vegas is the only "country" with a system of currency that is actually backed by gold. The general unit of currency in the greater part of the United States is called the "crown."
- In Time Enough for Love, Lazarus Long owns the bank, so he prints his own currency. It's tied to the price of wheat as a pseduo backing, which means sometimes he took a loss, but it meant the money was a stable system.
- It's mentioned that the unit of money on the Howard Family planet Secundus is the "crown."
Terran currency did not bother him: a hundred dollars to the credit — which he thought of as five loaves of bread, a trick the Supercargo taught him — a thousand credits to the supercredit, a thousand supercredits to the megabuck. So simple that the People translated other currencies into it, for accounting.
- A Song of Ice and Fire has Westerosi gold, silver, and copper dragons, stagsnote , and stars after the Animal Motifs used by the former and current dynasties along with one of the many symbols of the dominant religion. Other regions in the setting have their own currency, including gold and iron coins and possibly others.
- In Sprawl Trilogy Japan's revalued New Yen are the preferred currency in many places. On account of most other currencies undergoing Ridiculous Future Inflation if not collapsing entirely.
- In the Takeshi Kovacs novel Broken Angels Sanction IV's government used the Standard Archaeological Find Token, or saft, as the planet was colonized to hunt for Martian relics. By the time of the book the war and other economic problems have reduced the exchange rate to 230 saft to the UN Protectorate dollar.
- Victoria: After the dollar gets driven into the ground, Maine starts issuing 'Pine Tree Dollars' with a picture of a Pine. Instead of a fiat currency, one backed by gold and/or foreign money that still has value.
- The War Against the Chtorr has United Nations Federal Kilo-Calorie notes, or 'caseys'.
- The Wheel of Time has three terms for coinage: penny, mark and crown. However, these can be made of different materials, with a gold mark, say, being worth more than a silver crown. All told, because coppers are always pennies and golds never are, there are six different varieties of coin in use, with their exact relative values differing by country of origin.
- A majority of the currency in The Wild Ones is composed of seeds, nuts, and other forms of food that can be traded. Given that everyone is a Funny Animal, this is somewhat expected.
Live Action TV
- Andromeda occasionally makes reference to "guilders" or "thrones", but given the post-collapse setting it is likely there are several planets and nations with their own currencies.
- Thanks to approved tie-in material, we know the currency for many of the alien nations on Babylon 5: Abbai use gy, nori and chuk, Brakiri use grull or credits, Drazi use tok, Grome use vorl, Hurr use fla, Llort use yat, heek and molat, Markab used galot and Yolu use ogo. Hyach and pak'ma'ra use a barter system instead. Gaim, being hive insects, never used money. The Centauri use ducats and the Humans use credits. No word on the Narn or Minbari. The credit is standard on Babylon 5, being run by the Humans, after all, and seems to be a fairly common trade currency for legitimate transactions (since the Humans are the major commercial power); however, Centauri ducats (the only currency besides the Earth Alliance credit that actually appeared on the show) are favored for underground transactions and transactions with no or unreliable access to banking networks, as there are physical ducat coins that make them easy to trade and hard to trace.
- Both versions of Battlestar Galactica use the "cubit". Caprica shows that this currency was used on at least two of the Twelve Colonies (Caprica and Gemenon) before unification.
- The official printed currently that appears to be in use in the post-apocalyptic world of Defiance is the "scrip". While the word is commonly used to denote a currency substitute (like vouchers used in some company towns), here it appears to have become a currency on its own. The scrip appears to be the currency of the Earth Republic and is also used in various city-states like Defiance (formerly St. Louis) and Angel Arc (formerly Los Angeles). It's not clear if it's also accepted in the Votanis Collective.
- Game of Thrones:
- Westeros runs on the GoldSilverCopper Standard (gold dragons, silver stags, and copper stars respectively).
- Coins from other cities are also depicted, including Jaqen H'ghar's Faceless Man iron coin in "Valar Morghulis," a square Braavosi one in "Second Sons," and the voucher-tokens of the Iron Bank in "The Laws of Gods and Men."
- At least three million years in the past of Red Dwarf, humanity used the 'dollarpound' ('buckquid' for slang, and made up of 100 'pennycents'). Also an example of Coca-Pepsi, Inc..
- Star Trek:
- The Klingon Empire's currency is the darsek. The Bajorans use a currency called lita, and the Cardassian Union has the lek. The Karemma, part of the Dominion, use dirak, and in the casino run by Martus (an El-Aurian), the currency of choice is the isik. The Star Trek Novel Verse has added several others, including Tarkaelean notch-rocks, Gorn szeket, and Breen sakto. Humans on the other hand have no currency at all (though this is inconsistently depicted).
- Naturally, your local Ferengi currency exchanger is more than happy to turn all of this into gold-pressed latinum, in easy-to-handle denominations of slips, strips, bars, and bricks. Note that the gold is considered worthless, it's the liquid latinum inside that holds value. Going by the Deep Space Nine episode "Body Parts", 100 slips makes a strip and 20 strips makes a bar, and so 2000 slips makes a bar.
- In Taxi, the drivers are pooling their money to make a big score. When they ask Latka what he has he answers something to the effect of "30,000 glotkies". When asked how much that is in American money he answers "Nothing."
- The colonists of Terra Nova appear to have staples such as housing, medicine, and basic food provided, but other goods are paid for with "terras" alongside a spirited barter system. 20 terras buys a nice outfit, while 60 is somewhat steep for a handmade guitar.
Professional Wrestling
- Generalissimo Takada's monster dollars in HUSTLE, currency of his monster army.
Puppet Shows
- In some episodes of Bear in the Big Blue House, the currency of Woodland Valley is the clam. In others it's ordinary US dollars. Clams appear to not be regular clams, since Pip and Pop sell a whole bunch of clams in one episode, making two clams on the deal.
Tabletop Games
- BattleTech's major houses each use a distinct national currency, colloquially known as D-bills, K-bills, S-bills, M-bills and L-billsnote , each also having an official name, for instance, the Capellan Commonwealth's "L-Bill" is officially the Yuan, while the Free Worlds League "M-Bill" is the Eagle. The most encountered and important currency in the Inner Sphere, however, is ComStar's C-Bill, which, officially, represents one unit of transmission on the Hyperpulse Generators that ComStar uses for FTL communication. However, said communication is seen as enough of a scarce and precious commodity that the bills have taken on a use as a currency and legal tender.
- While most settings of Dungeons & Dragons simply use the GoldSilverCopper Standard the novels for Eberron refer to the coins as Galifars, Sovereigns, Crowns, and platinum Dragons.
- Most settings did tend to have actual names for the currency floating around... it was just that except for Eberron most of them had several different currencies using the copper/silver/gold/platinum system, with wide acceptance for most making just calling the coins for their metallic category a wide-spread and very common general nickname.
- Eclipse Phase has credits in most capitalist habitats, but Anarchist habitats don't use money at all, instead they use a combination of public-access nanofabricators and a gift economy mediated by Reputation networks. While the Titanian Commonwealth mostly uses something similar to the Anarchists but they also have kroner that are invested in "microcorps" as some form of introducing competition to a Socialist economy.
- Exalted features Jade (a magical material rather than real life jade). Jade scrip is most widely used in the Realm, but the Guild has managed to push a silver standard as an alternative currency in the last few decades. The denominations of different Jade coins is exhaustively detailed (including coins so large and valuable that they're almost exclusively used on paper rather than actually carried around). It's also implied that there are other minor currencies, such as cowry shells, throughout the world.
- Human Occupied Landfill has grobules, a small lumpy egg often scavenged from battlefields and slaughter sites. If left alone, it will mature into the festering groblinoid, which is larger and smells like rancid oatmeal, and is worth ten grobules for no discernible reason. Eventually that will hatch into the grobling, a snarling mass of claws and fangs and killing urge which is not only worthless as a monetary unit, but will also savagely assault its owner and everyone else in the area. It also releases a gas that causes nearby grobules and groblinoids to hatch prematurely into adult forms so they can join in. After everything else is dead, they lay new grobules and promptly die from boredom. Then new victims show up and loot the new hoard, and the cycle repeats. The alternative is the Confederate Chit, but nobody other than offworlders put any value in that.
- In Ironclaw the silver denar (represented by a D with a stroke) is the primary currency of Calabria, along with gold aureals and bronze orichalks and a few other coins that aren't legal tender anymore.
- Life also has toy money of very large denominations, with portraits of guys with Punny Names on them.
- Malifaux has Guild Scrip, in keeping with its portrayal as a Company Town. Exchange rates Earthside may be fair, but in Malifaux they are controlled entirely by the Guild and are yet another way to exploit people.
- Myriad Song's most widely accepted currency is the Imperial Monetary Note, represented with a note symbol, and divided into 100 quavers. While the Concord and Solar Creed each have energy-backed currencies, the "masey" and "sol" and a lot of independent worlds issue their own scrip.
- Monopoly money may be the Trope Codifier. In some spinoff games like Monopoly City, it's denominated in "monos" (the symbol is a struck-through M; the name is a riff on Euros). In addition, some versions have used game-oriented names, like the pre-euro German "spielmark".
- Mutant Chronicles: The Mega Corps and the Brotherhood all mint their own currencies, with varying levels of success. Brotherhood Cardinal's Crowns are the de facto Universal Currency since they are backed by the Cardinal's Bank, which is the largest and most respected financial institution in the Solar System, and one of the few banks which does inter-corporate banking. Capitolian Dollars and Imperial Sterlings can be used pretty much everywhere and you probably won't get ripped off too much on the exchange rate. Bauhaus Guilders are rarely seen outside Bauhaus territory, but for some reason the preferred currency for trading in financial instruments. No-one outside Cybertronic sees Cybertronic Piastres, and no-one who is not required to by law so much as touches Mishiman Dubloons.
- Shadowrun has the Nuyen (¥) .
- The orks of Warhammer 40,000 use their own teeth as currency. Apparently this works because their teeth grow back constantly but also decay over time once removed.
- Widgets in BIONICLE.
Video Games
- Animal Crossing uses bells, and the prices of items in the games suggest they have a 1:1 exchange rate with the Japanese yen.
- The Atelier series uses Cole.
- Billy vs. SNAKEMAN has Ryo as the general currency (largely a reference to Naruto), but some areas of the game have different things, even though it's supposed to be ordinary money; pizza delivery grants "Tips", Retail pays in "Wage", and the currency at BillyCon is "Monies". This is largely to prevent players from just buying their way through, but the lack of any exchange at all is... questionable. Lampshaded in the mission "Count Change": "With a multiverse of currency, this is much harder than it seems!"
- In the video game BioShock Infinite, the floating city of Columbia uses coins known as "Silver Eagles", as seen in the above photo. The United States actually made coins by that name, but these aren't like the ones featured in the game.
- Black Tiger uses zenny.
- Zenny in the Breath of Fire series, as well as most other Capcom games: the symbol is generally a Z with vertical lines through it.
- Chrono Trigger calls its currency gold, although it seems to be a name rather than they actual metal. It is also spendable throughout the eras you travel, although shopkeepers in 2300 A.D. will poo-poo it at first before reluctantly accepting it, and shopkeepers in 65000000 B.C. refer to it as "shiny stone."
- Civilization: All nations use a currency called "Gold", although in 'IV', you can pass a UN resolution to have one global currency to help the economy, even though all the nations already use the same currency.
- In The Ditty Of Carmeana, the de facto unit of currency is the frequent-flyer mile.
- Dragon Age uses sovereigns.
- The Elder Scrolls
- Throughout the series, gold coins known as "Septims" (after the ruling dynasty of the Third Tamriellic Empire) are the official currency of Tamriel. They are also sometimes referred to as "drakes", due to the Imperial Dragon symbol on one side.
- Other forms of currency have appeared in the series, such as the ancient Dwemer coins in Morrowind, but to date, they have been treated as Vendor Trash which can be sold for the standard gold coins.
- While set pretty much in the real world, Endless Ocean Blue World uses the Pelago (P), same as the name of the commonwealth Nineball Island is in. To give you an idea of value, jukeboxes cost 200P, hammocks cost 440, haircuts are 1000 each, guitars cost 1900, swimwear runs you from 1200 to 3200, and telescopes cost 4700.
- Exit Fate has the arn.
- Fallout most prominently uses caps (literally old Nuka-Cola bottle caps, backed by the water merchants of The Hub) as their post-apocalyptic currency, but the New California Republic also produces NCR dollars (gold coins in Fallout 2 and heavily devalued paper money in New Vegas). The Legion produces their own money, but it's directly based on two Ancient Roman coins: the aureus and denarius.
- The Final Fantasy franchise uses gil, in one of the most recognizable instances of this trope. The earliest Western translations instead used gold (G), but have stuck with the original "gil" for all releases since Final Fantasy VII.
- FusionFall uses taro.
- The Freddi Fish series has purple sea urchins. There are at least five variations, all of which are more valuable: red sea urchins (worth two purple ones), blue sea urchins (worth three purple ones), gold sea urchins (worth four purple ones), and orange sea urchins (worth more than four purple ones; exact value unknown). There's also a mention in the fourth game of Gill owing a loan shark twenty clams; the significance of this debt implies that a clam is worth more than any sea urchin seen in the series.
- In Halo, the Covenant's main form of currency is called "gekz", as first revealed in Halo: Mortal Dictata.
- While the Kingdom Hearts games take a lot of elements from the above Final Fantasy series, they use munny instead gil. Its name likely a take off of "Hunny" spelling in Winnie the Pooh. Strangely enough, instead of coins, it takes the forms of yellow octahedrons. The opening of Kingdom Hearts II suggests it's equivalent to the Japanese Yen.
- Kingdom of Loathing uses meat as currency, while precious metals are Vendor Trash.
- The Kiseki Series uses Mira.
- Legend of Mana uses "lucre", but not the rest of the World of Mana.
- The Legend of Zelda franchise similarly uses rupees, which is oddly enough a real currency (used by India), though no one's quite sure if it's supposed to be a reference to that or a pun on the word "rubies", since Zelda's rupees look rather like absurdly large gemstones.
- In the Mario RPGs Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi, which feature Coins, as in the coins that float in the air in the platformers, and no, not coins of a currency; Coins are the currency (instead of dollars or yen or euros or whatever).
- MOTHER 3 - Dragon Power
- NeonXSZ uses grams of uranium as the currency. It is highly doubtful that it is actual uranium, given that the game takes place in cyberspace.
- The Oddworld series has "Moolah," the standard currency of the Glukkons.
- Phantasy Star uses meseta.
- Pikmin 2 has the Poko as the currency of the planet Hocotate.
- Pokémon:
- The Western translations use "Pokémon Dollars" ("poké" or "pokéyen" in Fanon), the symbol of which looks like the yen symbol (¥) with the Y replaced by a P. The Japanese version just uses yen, (even in regions based on New York and France), which is why costs and payouts appear so oddly high to non-Japanese players.
- The Pokéwalker, a pedometer device released for the Pokémon games Heart Gold and Soul Silver, where you carry around a party of Pokémon whilst walking through different areas where you can find Pokémon to battle and gain exp and happiness, use the currency 'Watts' one of which is gained/'charged' for every 20 steps you take (cleverly the amount of steps needed to burn 1 calorie), or from Pokémon (depending on its happiness level) periodically , it can be used for the (mini-version) PokéRadar and the Dowsing Machine or to buy new areas or routes each with different Pokémon to battle with.
- Ratchet & Clank allows you to buy an array of weapons with bolts as a main feature.
- SaGa 2 uses Kero
- Shin Megami Tensei
- The series, save for the Persona subseries, uses macca. It has some relevance as a power source for demons.
- It's not really until Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey that the idea of macca being a "power source" really took hold (though little-known spinoff Devil Children established demons could eat it). That explanation was used to justify purchasing items from the Matter Replicator with demon money. Earlier games had a third "currency" called Magnetite (not the same as the real mineral) which was a mystical substance found in living things that demons needed to incarnate in the human world - summoning your demons cost you Magnetite, as did keeping them around. You could gather it from slain demons, and demons could also feed their need by eating humans, the most abundant natural source of Magnetite in the real world.
- Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE has certain areas that use other currencies beyond macca. Ikebukuro, for example, uses kreuz.
- The series, save for the Persona subseries, uses macca. It has some relevance as a power source for demons.
- Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri: Money is simply called Energy, and it is gained from energy producing facilities, or power plants.
- Sierra has this in several of their "Quest" series.
- Quest for Glory had a Gold and Silver standard of 1:10, the other games had a 1:100, with Dinars and centimes, Royals and commons, Crowns and Kopeks. Quest for Glory V does away with that system and converts everything to drachmas.
- Space Quest has the universal Buckazoid.
- SimCity and The Sims both use the simoleon as their currency. In Sim City 2000, the currency symbol was just a $, but starting with Sim City 3000 the currency sign for the simoleon became a section sign (§). In real life, "simoleon" is an old-fashioned slang term for a dollar.
- The iPod tactical game Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes uses Luna.
- Spore: The cell and creature stages use DNA points as currency, the tribal stage use food, and the civilization and space ages use Sporebucks symbolized with a §.
- Starflight uses a currency called Monetary Units, the sequel uses a currency called Shyneum Pennies.
- Star Ocean uses Fol.
- Suikoden uses Potch.
- Tales Series uses Gald.
- Ultima:
- The games usually have gold coins, but Ultima VII Part II takes place on another continent, where three city states have different coinage each. Warlike Monitor uses monetari (huge golden coins), beauty-fixated Fawn uses filari (small gems encased in glass), and magical Moonshade uses guilders (enchanted glowing chips). The exchange rates are fixed, but different moneychangers take different fee for exchange.
- Ultima VIII, which takes place on another world, uses obsidian coins.
- Vampires Dawn has Filar. You need to sell silver or items in order to get them though.
- Vangers has beebs, which are not coins, but four-legged insects. They are gathered by crushing them.
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has Novigrad crowns, which are the standard currency, Temerian orens and Nilfgaardian florins, both of which have to be exchanged to crowns in Vimme Vivaldi's bank.
- The various Infocom text-adventure Zork games have zorkmids. Later used in NetHack as a homage.
Visual Novels
- in Rose Guns Days, Japan has been invaded by the US and China after WWII, and as a logical consequence, the Yen has been replaced by "Japanese Dollars". The exchange rate isn't specified though.
- Iaei in Hazard's Wake. Word of God says they're "elliptical coins made of a shiny blue metal".
Web Original
- RWBY has lien, which is not paper money or coins, but appears to be printed on cards.
Western Animation
- The Fire Nation in Avatar: The Last Airbender uses a currency called "Bǎn". The Gaang carries mostly Water Tribe money (never named), which is accepted in some parts of the Earth Kingdom, but not all (this gets them into a tight spot). The United Republic in The Legend of Korra uses Yuans.
- Chowder has dollops.
- Dave the Barbarian has dreckles.
- The currency in Dog City is "bones" - actually gold bars shaped like bones. Ace Hart's standard fee is five bones a day, plus expenses.
- The Flintstones has clams. Which are usually literal clams. (Sigmund and the Sea Monsters did the same thing in one episode.)
- In Happy Ness: The Secret of the Loch, Sand Dollars actually pass off as currency.
- In one episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Harvey, representing The Jetsons in their lawsuit against the Earth of the past, is puzzled when they ask for their monetary damages in 'griznaks'.
- The currency on Invader Zim — seemingly both on Earth and in the Irken empire — is "moneys", as in "that costs six moneys."
- Various incarnations of My Little Pony franchise have had their own currencies:
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has bits, a reference to an actual term for eighths of an old Spanish dollar (aka the "pieces of eight" coveted by stereotypical pirates) as well as the kind of bit used to drive horses.
- My Little Pony Tales had jangles.
- Ozzy and Drix use Carbohydrates as money.
- Rick and Morty, Rick and Morty's universe has several. In the giant universe, schmeckles are used(Rick has no knowledge of how much they're worth). In one of the alternative dimensions on Interdimensional Cable, rapples are used(and apparently have several designs, despite apparently being the same worth). In the main universe, it seems that flurbos are used, as Krombopulos Michael pays Rick in flurbos for weaponry.
- Flurbos may be an equivalent to game tokens, since they're only ever used at Blips & Chitz; the Galactic Federation uses blemflarks.
- Rocky and Bullwinkle: several of the kingdoms in "Fractured Fairy Tales" stories use either Pazuzas or Gold Grickles.
- South Park: Canadough Canadian Coins virtual currency for the Terrance and Phillip Give Us Your Money Mobile Game.
- Team Umizoomi has Umi Dollars/Umi Cents.
- Tripping the Rift has kronigs.
