The Galactic Credit Standard, simply called credit, colloquially referred to as Republic Dactaries, and later known as the Imperial Credit, was the main currency in use in the galaxy since the time of the Galactic Republic.

 

From its inception, the credit was backed by the immense wealth of the planet Muunilinst and the InterGalactic Banking Clan (IGBC). During the Clone Wars, the IGBC backed the currencies of both sides, as it would do again decades later for the New Republic and Imperial Remnant.

 

One tenth of a credit was called a decicred.

I believe the Galactic Standard Currency was simply called credit, colloquially referred to as Republic Dactaries, and later known as the Imperial Credit.

Hope that counts.......I kind'a just copied it :-)

I will guess Republic Dactaries or Imperial Credits once the Emperor dissolved the Senate in Episode IV.
