Taap

The taap (Mando'a for 'point') was a currency used in Mandalorian space. It was first introduced among the Mandalorians in the New Sith Wars during Mandalore the Uniter's reformation of Mandalorian economy. It later became the standard currency of the pacifistic New Mandalorian government that ruled much of Mandalore from 738 BBY until the end of the Clone Wars. Taaps soon phased out of use when the Galactic Empire began numerous attempts to invade Mandalore, during which time Standard Credits, also known as Imperial Dataries became commonplace among the local Mandalorians. When Mand'alor Fenn Shysa established the Mandalorian Confederation in 3 ABY, the Imperial Dataries on Mandalore were replaced with Mandalorian Credits and taaps also returned among more traditional populations. After this point, Mandalorian taaps began appearing in the black markets of other worlds including Nal Hutta and Tatooine.
