- "Are you going to pay for that? It costs seven wupiupi."
- ―Gragra, to Jar Jar Binks
The wupiupi was a type of golden currency used by the Hutts on Tatooine. Sixteen wupiupi coins equalled one trugut, and sixty-four of them equalled one peggat. The value of a single wupiupi coin was around 0.625 Republic credits.[1] On one of their sides, wupiupi coins bore an old Huttese code of trade.[2]
Around the time of the Invasion of Naboo, large amphibians called gorgs were sold in Mos Espa Market for seven wupiupi apiece,[3] which was considered a princely sum.[1]
