Galactican Credits

Galactican Credits, also known as Government Credits or simply credits, and abbreviated to either cred., GC, or C, are the standard form of currency in Government space, and the standard model other currencies are compared against within the known universe.

Description
Galactican Credits in physical form often appear to be thin and small metal or plastic rectangles with rounded edges, with their value engraved on them. However, a credit card appears to be a thin electronic card that can interface with wristcons or other devices to display holograms and plug into ports, able to complete transactions via direct connections. The highest known denomination of a single physical Galactican Credit was 1,000,000. Other physical denominations included 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, and 100,000. Physical credits and credit cards often prove to be quite durable, such as being flame-retardant, waterproof, and able to compared to a sheet of metal.

Workings
Modern Galactican Credits are mainly digital, able to be accessed through computers, portable devices, credit cards, or cybernetics, such as the common CryptoCred Transactor Implant. However, credits may also be stored and exchanged physically. While the earliest credits were mere physical objects, later credits and modern credit cards have magnostripes and microcomputers within them, which cannot be replicated. Transactions may be completed through physical ports or over wireless connections. Galactican Credits are able to be transferred onto other forms of credit storage and transaction devices as well, such as Credpens, Biowatch Transactors, and more.

Background
Galactican Credits were developed with the founding of the Trans-Galactic Government. They remained the standard following the end of the Trans-Galactic War. They are managed by the Federal Reserve and other monetary-controlling Government divisions.
