As I waited in line at the bank this morning, I began to think about the types of currency used in SciFi and Fantasy and whether I would, one day, find my retinas being scanned to purchase things like socks from The Bay or underwear from Sears.
Some SFF stories use versions of old world coins or bartering. Stories set in the future often use electronic credits, biological implanted "banks" or some other high-tech exchange system. It's pretty fascinating, especially, when you are attempting to create a currency for your own work.
I've provided some links to lists of fictional currency that you might enjoy and find useful. Remember "Space Bucks" from the movie Spaceballs?!
I was hoping I would find more lists, so, if you know any, please pass on links to other fictional currency resources.
