Space Money

Money and spacetravel is apparantly a tricky combination. Imagine a heavy metallic coin floating around, bumping into delicate instruments. Well, a team of scientists has now come up with a way to provide space pick-pockets with a new prize. A new currency and coins specifically designed to solve these problems, called the quid (Quasi Universal Intergalactic Denomination).



I can imagine these being HIGHLY sought after by coin collectors that now have to do with mere Earth money.
