'''Credits''' (abbreviated as "CR") is a standardized and universal currency in the Milky Way [[galaxy]].<ref name=":0">[[Elite Dangerous Role Playing Game]] Core Book</ref> Everything bought, sold, or paid for is valued and calculated in credits. Physical money or cash is not used, as all credits are digital and stored/exchanged electronically.

Credits are accepted as currency in all [[human]] occupied space such as the [[Core Systems]] and the [[Colonia Region]].

Every Commander uses the [[Bank of Zaonce]]. Players can check their current credit balance and total credits accumulated by viewing the Status menu on the right hand panel of their ship, or in [[Starport]] Services when docked at a [[station]].

''"The Interstellar Credit (cr) is the universal currency as regulated by the Bank of Zaonce. The approximate value of even a single credit is about $2 in 21st century money, an RPG linked with ED estimates it a $50, but commodity prices do not support [https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/32fsnx/how_much_money_is_a_credit/ this]. It could be argued that some planets would have this kind of discrepancy. Others clearly wouldn't. So just like today, hope to be lucky on where you are born. mCr are smaller denominations of a credit)."''<ref name=":0" />

== Micro Credit ==
''"The Micro-Credit (mcr) is used for civilian-sized purchases. There are 100 micro-credits to the credit. The Unit (u) is small change, with a hundred units to the micro-credit. A Unit is generally used only in the child economy or as a rounding fraction to calculate interest. Most adults never consciously use it."''<ref name=":0" />

''"The Interstellar Credit (cr) is the universal currency as regulated by the Bank of Zaonce. However, it’s a rather big unit of currency. The approximate value of even a single credit is about £1.19 in 21st century money. However, this is based on the Tea price index. In a time when you can buy freshly grown clones of people, machines can manufacturer most goods without any human intervention and most raw materials can be collected at a vastly reduced cost, it represents a high value to most people on some of the planets and stations. You don’t buy candy bars, meals at fast food restaurants or underwear with credits (unless it’s very nice underwear, of course).The rich have got vastly richer."''<ref name=":0" />

== Micro Credit ==
''"The Micro-Credit (mcr) is used for civilian-sized purchases. There are 100 micro-credits to the credit. A micro-credit is about 50 cents in today’s currency. The Unit (u) is small change, with a hundred units to the micro-credit. A Unit is worth a half cent and is generally used only in the child economy or as a rounding fraction to calculate interest. Most adults never consciously use it."''<ref name=":0" />
