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?

    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?
