e/List of fictional currencies

Information
has gloss	eng: Fictional currency is currency in works of fiction. It is often invented, bearing little or no resemblance to any modern or historic currency. This is a necessary plot device, in order to increment the completeness of the environment, and at the same time dissociate it from any known economy on Earth. A very common type, especially in science fiction, is credits. This is easily recognizable as money, and different from all earthly currency. The use of credits may serve to prevent the reader from imputing a lot of significance to it, e.g., by maintaining lack of depth that may be inherent to a short story, or simply to prevent it from overshadowing more important themes. However, this term would be inappropriate for a work set in a more technologically primitive environment, such as a medieval fantasy novel. Generic money in this genre is typically constructed from one or more precious or semiprecious metals, such as copper, silver, gold, electrum, or even platinum, followed by coins or pieces.

Russian
has gloss	rus: Вы́мышленная валю́та — несуществующие реально денежные средства (не имеющие аналогов в современном или историческом денежном обращении) в художественных произведениях, компьютерных, настольных или деловых играх. Самая часто встречающаяся в кино и литературе вымышленная валюта — кредиты — такой же постоянный гость на страницах фантастических книг и фильмов, как оружие — бластер. В жанре фэнтези придуманные валюты имеют необычные названия, но изготовлены они, как правило, из привычных драгоценных или полудрагоценных металлов, таких как медь, серебро, золото, электрум или платина.
lexicalization	rus: вымышленная валюта
