the collection is worth millions, though my estimate is $990,000.
Guyanese Dollars, maybe? :-)
Being that this is classic computing, perhaps in Altairian dollars.
In fact there are three freely convertible currencies in the Galaxy, but
none of them count. The Altairian Dollar has recently collapsed, the
Flainian Pobble Bead is only exchangeable for other Flainian Pobble Beads,
and the Triganic Pu has its own very special problems. It exchange rate of
eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since Ningi is a triangular
rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each side, no one has
ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency,
because Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. From this
basic premise it is very simple to prove that the Galactibanks are also
the product of a deranged imagination. -HHGTTG
How many R at RE Macs (y'know, the ones with the developers' signatures on
the inside) does it take to be worth one Altair?
