    I don’t think it’s so much worth a shitton and more so this particular secret mint-planet has been producing credits nonstop for 30+ years because they didn’t know the Republic fell, was replaced by the Empire, then the Empire was defeated by the rebellion and the New Republic restored.

      I haven’t seen it since I pirated it ages ago so I could be wrong, but I think I remember the smallest amount offered as a tip implied they were worth a lot.

      But them being worth anything more than a curiosity suggests money in Starwars isn’t by fiat, since the government that backed that fiat has been gone for 30+ years.

        I think what they’re saying is the new republic restored the same currency, so there was suddenly a government honoring it after those thirty years?

          But why would the same amounts of credits be worth more just because they are from the republic…?
