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'

The bottlecaps one reminds me of my childhood. I had a pretty sad childhood and lived in a giant slum. All the local kids and I used to collect bottlecaps and use them as currency because all the adults drank so much and left their garbage everywhere. Caps for uncommon alcohols were worth much more due to their rarity, while easy to pick up caps were worth like a penny in value. We would buy things like pieces of food, running errands, even gambled during various activities. In my teen years I still had a shoebox of various bottlecaps just in case even though I had already escaped that life. A bittersweet memory.

The fact that Chris included SCHRUTE BUCKS. Legendary.

You actually made a sponsor fun to watch. That's why this channel is one of the best on youtube.

Can’t believe you left out the most important imaginary currency: the one in my wallet

Chris’ surf shark ads are the best, always love these

I think it makes sense to use actual high value metal coins for trading in a galaxy spanning civilization. When it comes to interstellar trading, bartering really is the only way to go.

hey, i really love your videos, there really well put together and these days you dont often find youtube channels that aren`t all up-in-your-face. well done!

The fact that you mentioned the chocolate form is just HILARIOUS

I’m a huge fallout fan and I’m happy to see that caps aren’t forgotten

6:19 That is actually hilarious

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

In elementary school ppl made "duck bills" with donald duck drawn into it. I still have mine and it brings so many memories 😅

I’m not a fan of collecting fictional notes (like Antarctica or 0 Euro notes), but I think I might start collecting theses because of their interesting backstory and references

Someone: how many coins do you have? Half-Asleep Chris: yes

Where do I get a Shark Outfit. That was an amazing sponsored segment

Ralph n Bella they're my favourite little coiny cats

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.

Just wanted to say I just found your channel and your videos are really cool. I really like the format and you present the subjects in a very interesting way! Witty, humorous and informative. 10/10!

FALLOUT IS AWSOME DUDE THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT !

Wow, what an incredible video Chris! I hope there is a followup, going deeper down some of the rabbit holes. Keep up the good work. (when do we see your own Banknotes and coins? :) )

Adult Swim actually made limited edition Rick and Morty, "Shmeckles" coins. on one side they show the face of one of the characters from the show, and on the other side, they have the Shmeckels logo above a smaller Rick and Morty logo. Written along the top of the coin it reads: 25 Shmeckles. They were produced in 2019 in conjunction with Cartoon Network.

Chris i love your videos, your such a kind and passionate person I love your cats as well, thank you for the inspiration you gave me ❤ :)

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.

I always watch your vids early, keep it up Chris!

Nice video😄 I am from Israel, and I was very excited to suddenly see the shekel ☺️(שקל). What was funny though, was that the shekel you showed was a 200 shekels buck. It's like talking about a dollar and showing a 200 buck😂

No joke, i reminded it so perfectly it made a loop

I’m collecting as many varieties of fictional currency that I can. Star Wars being my favorite. I love the idea of using these in a role playing way. Like with playing actual Sabacc, using them at a Renaissance festival, or at Galaxy’s Edge.

I have an old Monopoly game from the 1960's and the banknotes still called "Mark", because "Deutsche Mark" were the currency in Germany in the 60s. And they are more pastell than the newer ones.

You had me at imperial credits

wow! every time i watch one of these vids i learn alot more!

So awesome, thank you for sharing Chris, always very cool information that most of us would never have paid that much attention to!

I love the Battlestar Galactica ones!!

I was like yessssssssssssss when I saw harry potter in netflix where I live I almost cried of joy

Lol the shark costume 😂

Glad to see your doing more things

Top secret cat stuff! Purrfect thing to protect!

Nobody gonna talk about how at 5:07 him saying “Schrute Buck” lines up with Dwight?

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

Fallout caps are really important they use them because of the Hubologists and you get them by checking draws and lockers or selling materials clothes and wepons you use them to buy clothes and wepons

Amazing video Chris!!! I never through about the currency in movies and TV, bit I'll definitely keep an eye out from now on. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go get some imperial credits

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.)

Yay! I'm so happy I love the Harry Potter series, theres a bit of it in this video! Thanks Chris! 👍 I'm gonna enjoy this video a lot!

I love the Harry Potter coins, I remember getting them for Christmas in chocolate form when I was a kid and Chamber of Secrets came out!

This Is A wholesome Nerdy video... And I Love It, Keep Up The good work.

I may be months late but I have to say the Bolts Currency in the ratchet and clank series will always hold a special place in m heart

And the cat puns video was hillarious great job

I absolutely love this!

I found a 1920 one penny the other day, I don't think it's worth anything since it's in bad condition (it's REALLY rusty but what do you expect), but I'm still happy!

Tbh Chris makes the best sponsorship segments

2:50 those soda caps

yes lego money is best money although we only have 1,2,5,10 unit gold coins a 5 unit silver coin and a 100 unit note. i think they are called "studs" from the cheque in brick bank

Please make this a series

The only thing you forgot about fallout is that in New vegas it's shown that the NCR as well as the Legion have their own currencies

i'm also a collector, can you please do old francs? those really large ones, you must know which ones i mean. they're so pretty!

The amount of coins and banknotes Chris has is outstanding

I love that you added the LEGO currency.

I love your channel all the time Iam with this channel since the beginning

One of the currencies you put in the picture for Star Wars are sabacc cards

I already have subscribed I love your channel I love everything about you keep on going man

4:38 i loved that movie lol

Love your videos. Thank you.

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.

Truly fantastic ❤️

Me: Sees notifications Also me: Welp I'm watching this now

The imperial credit chits say: rowe. No idea what that means, normally they translate into english but I have no clue about this one.

where did you got those

Chris, you looked so funny in your shark costume!
