Widgets

Widgets are small silver coins that are used as a form of currency in the Matoran Universe.

History
It is unknown how the first few Widgets came into existance, but they were quickly adopted as the main form of currency within the Matoran Universe.

Eventually, Widgets spread throughout the universe. After Spherus Magna was reformed, Widgets became the main form of currency.

Function
Widgets are used to purchase items in stores and markets throughout the Matoran Universe and now Spherus Magna. Technically, Widgets could be used in melee combat as ammunition for certain weapons, but this is not their intended use.

Value
There are two types of Widgets; the smaller, disk-like kind, called "Minis", and the larger, more cylinder-like kind, called "Blocks". Minis are less valuable than Blocks and are only worth one Widget, but Blocks are more valuable and are worth about five Minis.

Prices
The prices of different items in Widgets varies greatly, and the cost of individual items can be found on their respective articles.
