Although UFO has an American lead, I'm sure you'll agree it's NOT "Americanized" and is thoroughly British!!!

Or was the idea that decimalization was around the corner and who knew whatthe currency would be called? Decimalization was 1973 IIRC.

Hi, All,
It's worth pointing out that Shado was an international organization and got funding from the equally international International Astrophysical Commission, with staff pulled from many countries. The use of the dollar as a sort of international currency was common when the series was made and long before.
