Sickles and galactic credits confuse many Apr 26 2004




The Western Mail


TWO in five people think "sickles" - the money used in the Harry Potter adventures - is a real foreign currency, it was revealed yesterday.

And around 25% reckon that "credits" - the currency in Star Wars - is genuine money used overseas, the survey from the Post Office found.

Silly Brits.... Credits and sickles.. are not real..... :lol:

You're not in the EU so you wouldn't know of anything other than the dollar.

You can probably find an exchange rate for Dollars to Credits on eBay. There's certainly enough people selling Credits in Star Wars Galaxies.

There won't be for much longer, Sony are have meant to have contacted eBay and alike and told them to stop things like it from happening, the main reason being that there's no garantee that they'll get the credits or holocron or whatever.
