I still don’t understand why the currency wasn’t good. Travel pretty often abroad for work and fun, exchanging euros or dollars for local is less painful than shaving. You go to a booth, usually at the airport, and they do it right there. Yes you can usually get a slightly better rate if you go to a bank but it usually isn’t massively better. Also they have like FTL communication plus plenty of computers. Why not use a credit card?
'Cause Republic currency is digital (or at least I assume it is because it’s called “dataries” and Watoo says it isn’t “real” enough) and Tatooine is the ass-end of space. Either they don’t have the communication infrastructure to deal with Republic credits or they just refuse to due to fears of having their transactions tracked.
Ok I guess. Been to places in the world where the bidet/tolietpaper/sink was a garden hose that was tied to a gravity feed rain water tank that you had to sort out yourself over the toilet mounted over a hole and was still able to use my credit card.
