Kerbal money ideas

[jfull]

So, eventually money will be coming to KSP. However, it doesn't seem to be in the Kerbal spirit to just call them Dollars and denote them with the usual $.

Anyone have any ideas for Kerbal money?

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

Well, the Dev's say it may be called Kash.

[richiespeed13]

Being Kerbals, they should call it "Krash".

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

I want it to be called kebits, and kebytes for larger amounts

[SpaceGremlin]

I vote for "kredits".

[capi3101]

My vote's for Kerbucks; if not, they could at least use that for the name of their main supplier of koffee (kaffeine?)

[Luckless]

I do like kredits. Not a huge fan of Kash.

[Therapist]

Instead of Kredits, I think KerBits might be more apropriate for the kerbin system.

kwhy kshould kit kall kstart kwith kK?

kNova kwould khate kthis kidea.

[GangreneTVP]

How about Koins(Coins)? Krubels(rubels)? Kerbjamens(Benjamins)?

[Xetalim]

Yeah, Kash.

[Deadweasel]

Adding "ker" to everything gets old fast.

That said, using k instead of c can sometimes "feel" appropriate, so I'm down with "kredit", "kash" or even "MasterKard" (most space programs don't actually hand over real money when paying contractors, you know!)

Dogecoins.

Obviously it should be Krona the Swedish Currency.

[Deadweasel]

Obviously it should be Krona the Swedish Currency.

Even though SQUAD is based in Mexico?

Sweden is the land of video game development.

[Sylandro]

I'm voting for kerbits.

[British_Rover]

Even though SQUAD is based in Mexico?

Yes because Krona was the first real world currency I could think of that started with K and because Keso just sounds too much like queso when I say it in my head.

[GangreneTVP]

Kold (Gold). They are probably smart enough to not use a fiat currency. ;-)

[capi3101]

Kuesos? Quesos?

Mmm...queso....... #homer

Which makes PERFECT sense, if you're a kerbal! Think about it: a space program that can only develop and grow using cheese-based transactions! Mmmm... cheeeeese.....

I sell Volvos so Swedish Krona was the first one that came to mind.

Keso. Definitely keso (pl.: kesos).

[annallia]

Kuesos? Quesos?

Giving the Kerbals love of snacks.... I could see that working.
