In EVERY game I have ever played, without exception, when dealing on a planetary level, the currency is the galactic credit.
It seems obvious to me that we should get in first and corner the market.

I'd prefer the galactic groat.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
