Short for quasi universal intergalactic denomination, the quid is the result of cooperation between the National Space Center and the University Of Leicester to create a cosmic form of currency, Sky News said Friday.

Sky News said that the same substance used to give frying pans a Teflon coating helps make up the discs, that also feature pictures of the solar system's eight planets. The foreign exchange firm said that the exchange rate is one quid for nearly $12.80 with the availability of the new currency based entirely on demand.
