As you might have noticed all prices in the game are displayed like this "5000d".

So our question to you - what do you think the "d" stands for? :)

Be creative!

Typical Amero-centric view, but I just saw it as a placeholder that was short for "dollars".  I assumed there would be a more thematic currency down the road as the game developed.

Huh, funny, I was thinking of "den'gi" - it's money on Russian, or "dongs" - it's Vietnamese currency)

I'm a history teacher so i first thought of these:

Drachma from ancient Greece

Denarii from ancient Rome

Dinar from Muslims states in medieval times, still used as gold coins

Ducats from later medieval Europe

Or it could be a digital currency like Dogecoin (the horror)

However if something from the in-game lore could be created that would probably be best.

Yet it could be the short version of the Digital Intergalactic Credit Keeper ;)

First thing that popped in my mind was Dinero, but that's just silly :)
I keep coming back to Drupals.
