Editing Money (section)

====Money in 40k====
In WH40K; currency is not completely detailed upon. The Imperium officially runs on a feudal system with no unified currency system, where each world must pay tithes of various resources such as food, minerals, hardware, manpower.....etc, instead of paying in coin. Although several publications say that each Imperial world has their own local currency system, not to mention that guardsmen also get paid with actual money (although unspecified). Most people typically just accept that Imperial currency is either called "credits" or "thrones" (throne gelt, specifically, and yes that does indeed mean they are [[Golden Throne]]s), since they're the most prevalent. 

Additionally, every human of the Imperium is indebted to the Emperor at birth, as the only reason they're alive is because of the Emperor's continued sacrifice upon the Golden Throne. Thus, every citizen of the Imperium is considered a currency of the Emperor, and can be spent by the billions to preserve it, under the hopefully competent command of one of his generals. That said, wasting something that belongs to the Emperor himself is heresy, so while a commander or an Inquisitor may have the authority to spend that much if needed, they better have a good reason for it (those billions of guardsmen you sent to die on a pointless objective that did no favors to the Imperium? They could have instead been used in active, high-priority warzones like Cadia or Armageddon. You have potentially cost the fate of the entire Imperium through your incompetent squandering of His faithful servants, execution for such a grave offense.)

For Orks, they use [[toof|teef]], which can be obtained by krumping a git and yanking his chompers out. To orks; bigga teef means bigga value, so Orks who wants the killiest gubbins from the meks typically has to pick on someone his own size, or someone larger. Orks also run on a bartering system, where one can trade something of value; like salvage or resources to get what they want. Because teeth rots overtime, it cannot be hoarded for long, and has to be spent constantly to get the most out of it. And because no Ork can get rich by just sitting on his ass, this helps keep an Ork band eternally thriving as the constant fighting helps stimulate the Orks' growth. Some Ork bands also do not care if the teeth isn't from an Ork, so long as it looks like teeth and is zoggin 'uge. Its for this reason the Tyranids are another popular source of teef.
