Amusingly Named Science Fiction Currencies

Spacehunter introduces us to the wonderfully named "Mega-Credit" colloquially known as "Megs".

Can anyone name any other odd or amusing sounding Sci-Fi currencies?

(and no, you can't have Quatloo or Triganic Pu- too easy!)

I rather like MegaCredits.

It follows trends like Megabytes (ie 1,000 bytes) and with today's escalating prices as well as unified currencies (the Euro), I can quite see the 'Meg' becoming a standard unit - Anything less than 1,000 credits just isn't worth getting out of bed for...
