A standard Full weight (Union Standard) is a 100 grams of Polonium, Palladium, Tellurium, Bismuth or Iridium - and is worth 20 credits. A credit is worth about 10 dollars o 8 Euros

Outside the Union the Value and exchange is not standardized and can fluctuate greatly.

Within Union space Polonium Coins are outlawed in many local community due to the inherent danger, despite the Rad shields.

Union Fullweights are manufactured and can be ordered from the Union Bank, and the Polonium is inside a Gold layer and coated with a radiation opaque polymer.

The other metals have the same value while Palladium is the preferred coinage. Gold has relative little value as it is very common. The reason these materials are used as currency, is because any space faring society finds them useful.



The Taxi pilot on Sin 4 charged Eric equaled 10 Union Credits with a Tellurium coin (15 minutes flying) While the Bennetts put much greater value on Union Credits (A thing I need to fix in the rewrite)

But the Canon answer is : 1 Polo Full weight is worth 20 Credits (inside Union Space)
