Ratchet and Clank's Bolt currency system was weird but it made sense with the setting. The weirdest i can remember is from Deadly Towers on the NES and the currency was called Luder.
Weirdest VG currency?

They also said "Fuck the Mako" which made me a little sad. =/ It got annoying at times but, hell, how many vehicles let you drive up inclines of nearly 90 degrees?Tattaglia said:
As for the topic, I have to go with Gil from FF. As everyone else said, I just want to know what the fuck it is. I can't really think of anything that hasn't been mentioned.
The Atelier Iris games use a unit called Cole. I think Tales of Destiny used some weird bits of glass...
In Aaaaa! - A reckless disregard for gravity, you use the teeth of players not as skilled/lucky as you as currency.
I really wanted someone to say "rupies from zelda" so i could flame on like johnny blaze of the fantastice four after i throw down that rupies are an actual form of currancy.

I would say probably Ork Teeth from the Warhammer 40k universe, it's not technically a VG but there is enough games from it to count, also the description is hilarious,
"Orks use their teeth ("teef") as currency. This is quite a natural solution to inflation and income support, as Orks regrow their "teef" in a similar manner to sharks, replacing them quite frequently. They degrade over time so it is impossible to hoard them. This keeps prices constant, ensures all Orks have access to money and allows constant values to be placed on commodities. A toof will buy a good squig pie and a tankard of fungus beer, while a bag of teef will buy a cheap Warbuggy. A big flash Battlewagon could cost a Warboss hundreds of teef."

Yes Rupee's are a real world currency, Indian infact.
The LOZ version are little gem/diamond things.
And yes, I have been thinking way too much about this!
Easily explained: Hyrule Banks are run by Goblins. Goblins are great at math. And Gem Currancy. Hence, just like every other nation who doesn't know how their currancy works (yes, I'm looking at you England (pre-Euro... how does something go to 16 and then start again), India, Kuwait, Turkei, Serbia, and Russia) The Goblins have this shit on lock-down with their goblin asses.RossyB said:I accept your challenge!mezmerizer02 said:

But they work like any other world currency. There are a limited supply of each note/coin and this supply dictates the value. The actuall coin or note is about 1/10th of the value placed on it.
The LOZ version are little gem/diamond things.
Surely the fact that is a precious stone means that the Rupee itself actually has more monetary value than the value placed on it? Surely the actuall green rupee is worth several rupee's because it is a precios gem? Or are there so many green ruppies lying about that supply and demand means that you can apply the unchanging value of "One" to it? How can a Hyrule bank keep track of the number of blue or green ruppies that about when you find them by cutting grass?
And yes, I have been thinking way too much about this!
