Economy (1978)
The currency used by the Twelve Colonies are "cubits", which take the form of square-shaped gold ingots. They are still used in the refugee fleet led by Galactica, and are often seen when Starbuck is gambling.

Famous quotes containing the word economy:
“Quidquid luce fuit tenebris agit: but also the other way around. What we experience in dreams, so long as we experience it frequently, is in the end just as much a part of the total economy of our soul as anything we “really” experience: because of it we are richer or poorer, are sensitive to one need more or less, and are eventually guided a little by our dream-habits in broad daylight and even in the most cheerful moments occupying our waking spirit.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
