Pops (currency)



Pops are the currency of the Monkey empire, minted by the empire, and given to monkeys based off of their pop count (of their towers or machines), and one pop is very tiny in the grand scheme of things, being worth .00001 of 1 US dollar. The dilution is because there are 450 quadrillion pops in circulation and 13 trillion minted daily. Bloon wars dilute more because military members are paid a pop per pop.

Other workers recieve an hourly wage with a minimum of 2200 pops/hour, with the median income at 6590 pops/hr and mean income at 22300 pops/hr. The empire has 3,150,000,000,000 pops in debt, and the empire has a GDP of 2,900,000,000,000 pops a year. In total, workers and military together earn 3,095,000,000,000 pops/year. The empire is currently undergoing Economic Recession because of the expenditures of the fourth and fifth bloon wars combined with increased domestic spending on weapons research in relative peacetime (like now) crippled the daily economy. The Monky Empire's reported unemployment rate is 13.65%. One soda cost 9 pops the day bloons was released. Today, it takes 13,500 pops to buy a soda, and is the world's [|weakest currency] as of today, compared aganst the dollar.
