In Skeleton Crew, Old Republic credits are apparently worth a shitton during the New Republic period.
Which makes as much sense as bottle caps as currency in Fallout if it’s by fiat.
I think SW credits might contain energy or something with actual utility, that’s the only way it would make sense for old credits to be valuable without any government to require taxes be paid in that currency.
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.
Why would the New Republic honor old Republic credits if they weren’t printing the same credits?
If the were printing new Old Republic credits, nobody would see some rich kids throwing around shiny credits and assume it means they have a secret infinite money glitch.
The only way I can reconcile the 2 is if Republic credits aren’t fiat, but then why would Watto refuse to accept them?
Republic Credits is essentially the same as Republican crypto.

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…?

Shiiiiit we’re really finding out how short-sighted George was!
But wouldnt that imply crypto of any kind has value?
It has value to the bad guys.
Pls explain
