Ingots of credit represented a tangible iteration of credits, which served as the established currency within both the Galactic Republic and its successor, the Galactic Empire. These took the form of diminutive, flattened, and rectangular bars composed of metal with gold and silver coloration; the silver bars possessed a slightly greater length compared to their gold counterparts. Their surfaces were imprinted with various symbols, notably the symbol representing the credit itself ().
Credit chips offered an alternative method for the conveyance of credits.
