 From HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy.

"The Triganic Pu is a unit of galactic currency, with an exchange rate 
of eight Ningis to one Pu. This is simple enough, but, since a Ningi is 
a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles along each 
side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not 
negotiable currency, because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling 
small change."
