This is a list of currency in the Enderverse, ordered by their use in the Timeline.

Dollar

During the era of the Hegemony, a currency based on the American dollar was the official currency.[2]

In A War of Gifts: An Ender Story, Theresa Wiggin placed a "five dollar coin" in a stocking as a Christmas present for Ender Wiggin. Peter Wiggin mentioned that the five dollar piece was also called a nickel, the name a for a "long disused coin", thus implying that the currency in this time was no longer in the same as of present day.[3]

In Speaker for the Dead, Andrew Wiggin bought a starship from a resident of Gales for 40 billion dollars.[4]
