Dataries

Dataries are a fictional form of currency featured in the Star Wars multimedia franchise. They were referenced in the 1999 feature film Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Dataries, also known as Republic credits, was one name attributed to a form of currency utilized by the Galactic Republic. It was considered the Galactic Credit Standard, and was later replaced by an Imperial credit system once the First Galactic Empire took control over the galaxy.

In 32 BBY, Qui-Gon Jinn offered a junk dealer named Watto 20,000 Dataries in order to purchase a T-14 hyperdrive generator for repairs on a J-type 327 Nubian royal starship. Watto told him that Republic credits were no good in the Outer Rim systems, and refused to sell the part to him.
