- Useful for conducting off the books transactions, especially in environments where standard credits are not accepted

- Aurodium Standard: House Io Currency always goes by the Aurodium Standard to safeguard against inflation as much as possible. If a given coin depreciates or raises in value, it's usually by two to three credits for or against. Lower value coins may suffer, but higher value coins will often retain their value, making them natural hedges against inflation. In this case, since every coin is Aurodium, it is extremely resistant to depreciation even in the worst of circumstances
- No Faking: Extremely difficult to counterfeit, mainly based on the fact House Currency uses rare metals as the basis for all coinage, special, hidden barcodes unique to each coin and easily checked, and the presence of a few harmless isotope sample in very miniscule amounts embedded in the coin for scanners
- Off the Books: Highly useful for conducting transactions off the books for every citizen, especially outside House Territory, and in areas where standard credits are not accepted. In this case, it's a high level trade resource that can be sold for it's equivalent in credits, either Standard or Underworld, and most businesses on the outer rim or non Jedi territory will happily accept them.
- Weight: The weight of the coins as opposed to standard galactic currency means one can only carry so many on one's person, and they also must strategize what amounts of which that they take with them...lower denominations still have uses
- No Electronic Transaction: Carrying physical currency complete negates the chance of payment via Electronic measures unless conducting a face to face currency exchange with a trusted official
- Popularity Contest: While most outer rim, underworld, and fringe organizations will be happy to conduct trades, coreward businesses may be more hesitant, given that the source is considered an enemy of the state to multiple major factions, and being found carrying it may bring the attention of dangerous enemies...this any forward businesses that do accept will have to conduct transactions in strictest secrecy, lest they be discovered and the House loses a valuable trading partner. That said, obtaining pure Aurodium under the table, with no tax, is a risk even the most wary, cagey businessman is often willing to take
Meant to be used as a high level trade resource that can be sold for valuables, or traded for it's equivalent in standard or underworld credits with any buyer, these coins are rock solid choices to guard against even the worst economic downturns.
