The primary unit of currency used by the Poku'vonai is called the Odawina (OW). It is pronounced ōdă-wēnă. This unit of currency has been in use since before the Norka (The Exodus).

Odawina are eight sided coins, and they come in three denominations. They each weigh 16 grams.

The secondary unit of currency used by the Poku Saeruo Degonjo is the Odakoa (OK). It is pronounced ōdă-kōă. The Odakoa are eight-sided bars of gold or silver, and are worth eight times the value of an odawina of the same material. They weigh 128 grams. These are typically used for larger transactions.

The Odawina was originally backed by gold in the early history of the Qaktoro people. Since the time of the Norka (The Exodus), this gold standard was dropped in favor of a resource-based standard.

A Punla (Family) or Ruoka (House)'s monetary wealth is tied to an estimated value of their properties, which includes their starships, buildings, material stocks, and hard currency. Lelpa Wuny'a (Money Holders) conduct this valuation work, and coordinate with each other across Houses, and with Money Holders who work at the direction of the Clan, to ensure values are fair and correctly assessed.
