The Debt counter at the beginning of Pikmin 2

The Poko is the currency used on Olimar's home planet, Hocotate. This was first introduced Pikmin 2 and the plot concerned them. Olimar and Louie had to pay a debt of Pokox10,100 by visiting the Planet of the Pikmin, where collecting Treasures can pay off this supposedly immeasurably large sum of money. In comparison, Pokox100 is more than a year's salary for the average Hocotatian. Pokos are ovular, and thin, and are made of some sort of golden colored material. They bear a strong resemblance to the coins found in the Mario series of video games.

It seems that Pokos are used in Koppai (the home planet of the new captains in Pikmin 3) as well since coins that greatly resemble pokos can be seen in the money counter in the demo.
