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?
...

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

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! . 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.

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.
