While most governments have their own currencies, there are a few stable currencies with wide range. None is over arching and dominant. Most often strong currencies are tied to economic sub-sectors. Here are some of note:
The Giga-Yen is a small but ancient piece of human currency. Its widely accepted, but is strongest close to earth.
The Thay-D is another human currency, widely accepted for transactions for goods already in space.
the Xylysus (robotic uploads) use what's commonly translated as 'credits', and are the only far ranging species to really have a universal currency.
The 'Aqua-dollar' is common among aquatic species like the Akrit.
Question: are certain types of government more common, or is it a total miss mash of monarchies, theocracies, democracies, and so forth?
