"You need a hundred gold peggats if you're going to buy a T-14 from me!"
~ Watto
Across Hutt Space and much of the Outer Rim, it is not the Galactic Standard Credit that reigns supreme. Here a different currency can be found. For centuries (if not more) the almight peggat, a currency made out of the a gold alloy, has changed hands. A peggat was equal to sixty-four wupiupi, or four truguts - and more importantly, whilst its value changed, it was roughly equal to forty galactic standard credits.
A two sided coin, which was circular in shape, the peggat had one side a 'P' in aurabesh, and on the other the face of the Cartel Leader who was in office the date the coin was minted. Wupiupi, a silver coin, had a 'W' in aurubesh on one side, and the stylised image of Jabba the Hutt in profile on the other, whilst a trugut, a bronzium coin, featured a Kowakian monkey lizard on one side, and a rancors skull carved into the other.
