Narg
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The narg was a unit of currency used by Androgums in the Third Zone.
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
According to the Second Doctor twenty-narg was of sufficient value to cover a bill of 81,600 pesetas with change in 1980s Spain.
When Oscar Botcherby, a restaurant manager in Seville, refused to accept the currency Shockeye was aghast, remarking that the narg was negotiable "anywhere in the nine planets.", (TV: The Two Doctors)
The Seventh Doctor carried a twenty-narg note, among the various currencies in his pockets. (PROSE: First Frontier)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The narg is a tongue-in-cheek allusion to stereotypical ignorant British and American tourists attempting to pay for purchases with sterling or US dollars while holidaying abroad.[source needed]
