Moolah, what does it look like
 
Moolah, what does it look like?

Well I ponderd this question for a long time and eventualy did the onely thing one can do, when faced with a oddworldian question that can not be answerd anywhere else,

I asked Alf


Well its a coin atleast and i got a picture to boot
So here it is the first ever (I think) picture of moolah.

Pretty cool news.

I reckon that pic was originally going to be used to advertise AE, though... I doubt the real coins would have 'Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus' on them.

Now that's news.

I wonder what's on the back of the coin:

a map?
a queen?
a building?
...

Wow, that's pretty cool, kleeng. I've never seen that before.

I'm assuming that's Dripik...it is, isn't it?

On one of the newspapers in MO it shows Lulu with gold coins around him so it must be moolah.

Why moolah?
 
Why is it called moolah?

Oddsville 08-02-2002 08:07 PM
Thats the name for the form of currency on Oddworld, why do we call our currency money?

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR 08-03-2002 12:51 PM
The theme thingy is "In odd we trust?"

The money probably looks like a glukkon, coins are vykkers and pennies are sligs to match the yellowish-brown teeth they have from smoking and drinking coffee! :D. And a slig smiles and his girlslig friend is like "Um, your teeth are brown. Have you heard of tooth past and floss?"

We don't, we call it 'Dollars' or 'Euros' or 'Yen' or 'Pounds Sterling' or, if you're into science fiction, 'Credits', or some such thing.

Oddsville 08-03-2002 05:06 PM
Yeah, I guess I wasn't thinking when I wrote that. But then again why do we call our currencys that?
:fuzsmile:

BTW: Glad to see your back Max.:fuzwink:

I always thouht moolah was like green bits of paper..oh well!

Oddsville 08-03-2002 09:16 PM
Well some moola is in paper form like our dollor bills, etc. I would guess that Oddworlds currency is just like ours and I actually prefer it that way, I always hate it when shows, movies, games etc. try to come up with some type of universal, futuristic, or other planetary currency with really stupid names. To me Moola is a great way to resembly currency here on Earth without it being stupid.

Kaimana 08-03-2002 09:23 PM
yes i agree nice point bud.:fuzsmile:

Oddsville 08-03-2002 09:28 PM
Thanks Kaimana, Im glad you agree.:fuzwink:

Xavier 08-04-2002 04:23 AM

well thank you kleeng.

Abe516 08-04-2002 08:20 PM
moolah is a kind of slang word for money in the US

Kaimana 08-04-2002 08:22 PM
yes it is:fuzsmile:

Xavier 08-05-2002 02:53 AM
Oh yeah I remember...
ouf that's long time ago., but the glukkon head is a bit ugly:fuzemb:
