708. Prop Cubits from Battlestar Galactica. (ABC-TV, 1978-1979) A collection of 35 Cubits used in the original hit television series Battlestar Galactica. The gold colored plated metal prop currency was custom made for use on the production, each rectangular in shape and bearing Galactica and Colonial insignias on the recto and verso. Cubits were the primary unit of currency used on the original Battlestar Galactica series, and were most often seen during sequences where characters such as "Starbuck" (Dirk Benedict) and other principle cast members would meet and/or gamble in the Viper Pilot lounge area and play Poker or the futuristic game "Pyramid".
