*Despite the universal usage of credits as currency throughout the UEG, "dollars" have occasionally been mentioned in reference to the standing unit of currency in the ''Halo'' universe.

*In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', when meeting [[John-117]] for the first time and showing him an antique US [[quarter]], Dr. Halsey states that "People used coins like this for currency a long time ago, when Earth was the only planet we lived on," suggesting that there are no coins or papers used in the 26th century.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 25'' (2001 edition)</ref> However, in the [[ | *In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', when meeting [[John-117]] for the first time and showing him an antique US [[quarter]], Dr. Halsey states that "People used coins like this for currency a long time ago, when Earth was the only planet we lived on," suggesting that there are no coins or papers used in the 26th century.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 25'' (2001 edition)</ref> However, in the [[Audio log (Halo 3: ODST)|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. However, in light of the information in ''ODST'', Halsey's comment could be interpreted as referring to the specific type of coin alone, as opposed to physical currency altogether. | ||
