The Money of Harry Potter, Star Wars & More!

Two corrections: The Star Trek currency is called 'Latinum' not 'Latnium as I said (my apologies!) And I've also mis-labelled 'John Wick 3' as 'John Wick 4'

"Wizarding currency is complicating" British pound pre-1970: *hold my pint*

[@kaitlyn__L]

At least that was based on base-60, and while complicated was devised to be easy to do the maths in your head. Rowling obviously took inspiration from many of the strange names, but deliberately chose numbers that don’t divide nicely at all.

[@anttibjorklund1869]

@@Hailstonepie But then you get marks, which were 2/3 of a pound, and guineas, which were 1 1/20 of a pound.

[@pawelabrams]

@@SamAronow guineas were a nice way to count a 5% margin on something; you bought something in pounds, sold it in guineas, bam, you're 5% richer. Apparently useful in auction houses, where the person selling would be paid in pounds the amount of guineas the piece sold for. Mark is weird though, 13s4d? Like who needs that :D

You put a lot of effort into your videos Chris! And it really shows! Keep up the amazing work!

[@ez-bakeoven6797]

Fun fact, the brand of soda the bottle cap comes from means nothing, and hasn't since the first Fallout game. The caps value was originally tied to the price of water, and were often referred to as Hub Bucks, since it was the water traders of The Hub who started using caps as a currency as there was a finite amount of them to go around, and its surprisingly difficult to make counterfeits. The second game did away with bottle caps, replacing them with NCR dollars that were based on traditional American currency backed by gold, and mine scrip. NCR dollars are present in New Vegas, but have been severely devalued do to the various wars the NCR involved themselves in. Fallout Tactics replaced caps with ring pulls, and featured them alongside so called Brotherhood scrip. Fallout 3 only features bottle caps as the predominant currency, and started the trend of caps being this magic item that everyone holds the same value too. New Vegas, 4, and 76 feature alternative currency along side the cap, but those currencies either serve no real purpose (New Vegas' Legion coins and NCR dollars), or are for very specific transactions (76s gold bullion, legendary scrip, treasury notes, Mr. Fuzzy and mine prize claim tokens, ammo points, 4s nuka-cade tickets hand tokens, and New Vegas' casino chips. There does exist in every game post 3, wads of pre-war money, that in the lore of the game universe had been completely devalued due to hyperinflation. Pre-war money has virtually no value in 3, Vegas, and 76, but sports a value in 4.

I can just imagine another video with more currencies. Rupies from Zelda, Coins from Mario, Rings from Sonic, and who knows how many more are out there.

[@kaitlyn__L]

Was definitely pleasantly surprised to see latinum there. I think the designs on the various size bars is really appealing. I can understand why you didn’t go into the conversions of each currency, but latinum at least works fairly sensibly: 100 slips make a strip and 20 strips make a bar. I’ve always thought of them basically like cents and dollars as a result, with the bar being just extra big for the sake of it (which reminds me of the farthing in old British money). At least the conversions are numerically nice, unlike Rowling’s, which I find important for worldbuilding. Since, despite them all have computers presumably more advanced than our smartphones in their pockets, it’s still nice to just be able to divide something by 100 without having to whip a calculator out. (I personally find Rowling’s hand wave bothersome since we never see magic calculators or magic abacuses in the books or films. It’s plausible they could have those, or for instance, enchant a quill to write out maths answers, but if so, why not show us it in the many scenes where the students are studying for end of year exams? As you hint at, it’s just yet another example of backfill from Rowling, when she could just as easily have said, yep I wanted the numbers to be silly. But instead she tried to say the numbers weren’t actually silly, and they totally made sense somehow, even though they’re clearly chosen to not divide easily.)

Latnum is used because it's non-replicator-able. In Star Trek people have a machine that will make anything. They're usually used for food, clothes, simple stuff like that. There are only a few no-replicator-able materials, latnum is one of them. That's why the Ferengi LOVE it. Maybe I'm a nerd. Or. Maybe you are. Maybe we're both nerds.

Fun fact: In the Star Trek Universe, everyone has moved passed money except the Ferengi, so they keep it because money is important to their culture. Otherwise, money wouldn't be a thing and everyone would be able to go or do what they want, and that does happen. Instead of working for money, you can work at your dream job, like exploring space, or being a pizza delivery person.
