for example. That's US dollars, by the way, which would no longer be legal tender in Texas. Maybe they could follow the example of the planet Mongo (from the original Flash Gordon series) and name their new money after their leader. On the planet Mongo, the leader was Emperor Ming, and the money was in Mingos. In Texas, they could call them Perryos.
