solaris

[Emperor Harkonnen]

How much is one solaris in us dollar? I guess probably none of you know that, but I am just asking

[Gobalopper]

Hmm, US dollars are collector items by the time solaris comes around. ;)

[Timenn]

Hmm, I think you can't compare that anymore. For all those inflations etc. in all that time. And Euros will become collectors items too I think ;) (but worth more then a dollar  ;D;))

[Acriku]

Also the imperfections of having so many types of currency. It was a good idea to have a main currency of the Imperium.

[Nefud]

Remember: the dollar is used by the Earth-dwellers, and solaris is used by the space-dwellers. There's a huge difference between them (this contains time and space).

[Acriku]

The dollar could not have possibly lasted that long! It had no special advantages that would prolong it's existence. Earth is also just a myth, a legend, a folktale! Remember, it is a Class-13 planet (that one's for you Ex), and probably overrun by the masses creating havoc and pollution and massacring and murder and deaths and uninhabitability so much that it becomes nothing. Nothing! Can you imagine!  :O

[Nefud]

Wow!!! What a pessimistic view of the future!!! ;D

[Emperor Harkonnen]

No, no, no!!!  :'(

You have all missunderstood. I meant how much the solaris are worth compared with the curensy of the dollars today

[Acriku]

But Thor, there was no dollar mentioned in the Dune Chronicles, therefore how could we know? Unless, I am wrong and I'll be quiet for now  ;)

[nemafakei]

There were few references to solaris for use in buying common stuff we have today (620,000 for 1 dcg of melange - but we have no melange to value it against!), so we cannot tell.

[exatreide]

hehehe good one ariku

Yes earth wmost likely last that long

[Nefud]

OK Thorup, I see what U mean. But we don't have any info about the price of any common goods so we cannot compare these two values.
