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 [[2552]], 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> | ||

One of the messages says "Your tax '''dollars''' at work." As dollar is no longer functioning currency, the sign should really read "tax credits," but it is likely that the old phrase has not changed since the 21st century. | ||
*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.
