What currency is used in SU, Free Colonies, by Ijad?

[ShortenWeaponry]

As in subject. I need to know what currency is used. Some kind of credits? or Space Dollars (Euros? ) maybe the currency is something else like, dunno, adamantium bars or something?

[Ced23Ric]

We agreed that they use Peach Credits and Peaches. Also, we decided to ignore the issue for now and use terms like "money", "a lot of money", "insulting amounts of money", "way too much money".

All of a sudden I'm reminded that in StarSiege one of the Cybrid squadmates' idle chatter lines was, "I could eat peaches for hours."

WTF is it with the gorram peaches?!

[Wadmaasi]

Oh, never fear, I remember that thread. I just...I don't like peaches much. =(

[Ced23Ric]

ALL OBEY THE PEACHES. YOU SHALL NOT HAVE ANY CITRIC FRUIT NEXT TO IT. (Except for limes. Limes are okay.)

[ShortenWeaponry]

Could someone tell me how to fit peaches in wallet? (dehydrated peaches? )

[Ced23Ric]

Peaches fit in trucks. Trucks break down. And then, you need 'frames to defend them.

We got rid of Space-Greece. Remember the valiant sacrifice of the 33rd Planet Cracker detachment. We salute their efforts and the many lives they gave to rid us of this issue. Permanently.

Solar Wulongs.

I guess, though, it's based on the Peach Standard.

Completely agreed, Bebop is fantastic.

[Joshua A.C. Newman]

I can't tell you how happy I was to discover that there really is a ₩ character.

[Xero010]

Out of curiosity, about how many american dollars would a peach cost in the free colonies?

[afny]

[Joshua A.C. Newman]

I hate to say it, guys, but the official Solar Union currency is the Wulong, abbreviated "₩". (Note that it was the Tael in an earlier draft.) [Edit: Oh, you mean an actual, literal peach? It depends on how much of a rare commodity it is!]

They try to lock its value across all colonies by pinning it to certain commodities necessary for colonial survival. For example, cylinder fluid on Annomer costs $15 wulongs a liter, as the SU says it should (at least in the spaceport city). But in the Gossam outback, it's over 60₩. All the price-locking does is make it so the grey market on Gossam gets rich by cornering and reselling the stuff.

It's probably one of the reasons so many Free Colonies have started using the "Peach".
