Star Wars prop money???

[Goldenrod]

I need to know if there was any SW currency made for the films.

My sister n law's boyfriends mother work at an Airport in Florida and was given these as a tip. The person that gave them to her said that they were SW props. At least that what she thinks she was was told.

I just wanted to see if theres any truth to it. I'm currently trying to find out if she recalls the persons name or what he or she looked like.

Its 1/8 inch thick.

theres 5 gold 1000 credit coins that come with a version of the star wars monopoly game, has 1000 on one side and the imperial city on the other. their small enough for what Han might have thrown the bartender. it would be cool to know.

If they were SW props, someone is giving a serious "tip of the hat".

Those are Battlestar Galactica cubits.

From the original series. Not a bad tip though, replicas usually go for $10 or so.

 

[docholl]

A pair of original screen-used cubits generally sell for around $100.

 

[Goldenrod]

Cool thanks guys. I knew someone here would know what they were.

If you don't want them or have an extra drop me a PM. I would love to have one.

There were some Star Wars coins that came with the PC CDROM Star Wars monopoly. There were coins for Bespin, Alderaan, and a third planet I can't remember.

Probably tossed him an Eisenhower. The cantina was final-filmed in CA wasn't it?

 

[Treadwell]

Just insert shots of more monsters, more Greedo and closeups of Han's hand drawing the blaster. Anything with the main cast in it was back at Elstree.

 

[Darth Lars]

If I'm not mistaken, he still has not holstered his blaster in that shot. I thought it was the GK blaster he was holding. I have to look closer at that scene ...

 

[Treadwell]

The GK wasn't even made yet when they shot that.

The cubits above appear to be the commonly available type. The ones that are still available on ebay etc. Only they look as though all the gold plating has been taken off.

If they aren't plated, they aren't even worth the $10 you'd pay on ebay. Sorry to bear ill tidings.
