Prior to the disaster, the basic monetary unit used on board the ship was the “domar,” a small, lightweight plastic type of coin that was indestructible (or reasonably so given the technology of the time). Still, since all normal functions were provided on shipboard, there was no need for “money” as such, so the domar was not widely used except for gambling and other such diversions. The ideas of wealth or poverty were unknown since all inhabitants of the ship shared equally in its provisions for life and leisure on shipboard.

In the alteration of life that occurred in the radiation disaster, the inhabitants and their descendants have been reduced to a lower form of existence where survival is the key. As such, inequalities have arisen and possessions have taken on importance.

In the current time, domars exist and are accorded value by those inhabitants who handle and trade with them; still, since they were never in great numbers, domars are in short supply. Accordingly, the use of the barter and trade method of dealing has developed to a large degree.
