Dollarpound

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The dollarpound is a fictional currency used in the science fiction comedy series Red Dwarf and its resulting novels.

The currency has entered the popular language of the fictional universe by introducing phrases such as "sound as a dollarpound" or "I couldn't give a pennycent".

Although only passing references are made in the series, in the books it is discovered that this is the currency for the entire Solar System.

100 pennycents make up 1 dollarpound ($£1). The slang name for the dollarpound is the quidbuck.
