In the Space Quest games series (1986 - 1995) the Buckazoid is the base currency of civilized residents of the Galaxy, minted on Xenon. It seems to be a rather unstable currency and very prone to inflation and deflation. Alternatively, it could have different values in different contexts. It can also be made nil.
Due to recent discoveries, many are recognizing Buckazoids as the first in-game digital currency that aligns with the bitcoin ethos (to say the least, the rabbit hole is deep). In Space Quest 4 (1991), the buckazoid coin redesign clearly displays the first sighting of the bitcoin ₿ logo, a rocket, and the number 59.

Roger Wilco is selling an Official Astro Chicken Flight Hat for 25 buckazoids. The same price he paid for his '86 Pleides GL Skimmer just a few years prior. Wilco is saving up for a sweet deal on a hoverboard at the galactic flea market that will cost him 500 buckazoids!
