I saw a reddit post recently showing off the new currency icons on the PTR. They look quite good, but they reminded me of something that's disappointed me a little since I've started playing: the standard fantasy currency progression just feels out of place in Wildstar. Since they're working on the currencies anyway, I propose a change of name for the basic currencies along with the icon changes. Copper, Silver, Gold, and Platinum would become something along the lines of Protocents, Protobucks, Megabucks and Gigabucks (I realize those prefixes don't accurately reflect the amount of Protobucks in the higher currencies, but Hectabucks sounds dumb and there is no SI prefix for 10,000.)
 
Obviously, this is a pretty tiny issue, but it should also be a pretty tiny change, and they're already messing with currency stuff anyway. What do you think? Do you like the current currencies? Do you have a better name for the other denominations than my admittedly half-baked ideas?

			That or something like it would be kinda cool. The whole bronze/silver/gold/platinum thing seems out of place.	
----
			It should just be one currency, imo. However, I doubt the change will ever happen due to the ridiculousness it would cause on the in-game markets.	
----
			Yeah, the problem with one currency is that instead of talking about 1 plat (or 1 gigabuck or 1 whatever), we'd be talking about a million currency. And it's a lot easier to miss that you typed in 100000 or 10000000 instead of 1000000 than it is to mistype an amount with the current system.

Can't be Protobucks.
 
That would mean the Dominion is held hostage to the whims of Protostar Currency.
 
If anything the currency would be called Dominus, with the Exiles using their own currency, the Brinny.

			At least call it space gold.

			while it would not be a horrible idea, I think it would cause too many problems with people not understanding what each level actually meant. while maybe outdated, most people playing can at least comprehend that copper comes before silver, silver before gold etc.
