The '''credit''', abbreviated as "'''cR'''," is the standard currency of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]. It is the only currency used by the UNSC that has yet been mentioned, and it is unclear if it is based off any older money systems. As of [[2553]], cR is still in use. Credits can be spent in the form of "credit chips," which seem to be the equivalent of the modern credit card.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', page 43</ref> Credits are also the in-game currency used to purchase new armour permutations in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. | The '''credit''', abbreviated as "'''cR'''," is the standard currency of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]].

*There is no known [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] monetary unit that can be compared to cR and the UNSC has no idea how much money their [[weapons]] would cost.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BAGBruteGrenade '''Bungie.net''': ''Top Story: 1/24/2007'']</ref> | *There is no known [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] monetary unit that can be compared to cR and the UNSC has no idea how much money their [[weapons]] would cost.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BAGBruteGrenade '''Bungie.net''': ''Top Story: 1/24/2007'']</ref> | ||
*In the trailer of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', there are monitors that are intended to announce information to citizens. One of the messages says "Your tax '''dollars''' at work." As the dollar is no longer a functioning currency, the sign should really read tax ''credits'', but it is likely that the iconic phrase has not changed since the 21st century. | *In the trailer of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', there are monitors that are intended to announce information to citizens.

*According to ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', there are no coins or papers used in the credit system,<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 23</ref> but in the [[Audio Log]]s in ''Halo 3: ODST'', an old woman is heard breaking an ATM with money in the form of coins and presumably paper coming out. Another ATM, found in gameplay, which also houses an [[Audio Log]], is also constantly spitting out money until the Audio Log is collected. It is unknown whether this is an oversight or if the currency is different than credits. | *According to ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', there are no coins or papers used in the credit system,<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 23''</ref> but in the [[Audio Log]]s in ''Halo 3: ODST'', an old woman is heard breaking an ATM with money in the form of coins and presumably paper coming out.
