The decicred was 1/10 of a credit. It was considered mere change. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, Palpatine's face was pictured on the obverse of the decicred, while the reverse side showed the Imperial crest.

Children were able to purchase decicred-dreadfuls with these monetary units.^[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

A few Star Wars works refer to phrases like "a dime a dozen" and "stop on a dime". The word root "dime" means literally a tenth, suggesting that a dime is analogous to the previously established "decicred," worth a tenth of a credit.
