== My Explanation for deleting the line ==
I am deleting the line about pokos being worth 2 cents for these reasons:
1. It can be easily presumed since the Pikmin Planet is Earth that humans don't exist any more, and therefore have no economic system.
2. It's working under the assumption that the price of it in our society and amount of pokos you get for selling it as a treasure overlap, which is flat out wrong, since it would have to be sold for the same purpose or there ends up being various pricing problems. (Ex. If you sell a glowstick to someone for entertainment, but then sell it to a primitive tribe because it looks like a holy relic to them, you're not going to get a conversion rate out of it, as opposed to if you sold the glowstick for entertainment in the U.S. for dollars, and then went to Europe and sold it for entertainment in exchange for euros.)
3. (And most importantly) It's out of place and sloppy, especially since they're trying to come up with a conversion rate for just dollars. I live in the U.S. and find that to be biased, even if it seemed like an obvious choice to them. [[User:Redgamehunter|Redgamehunter]] 01:45, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
== Comment by Dr.eggpikmin on 30th April 2014 ==
Actually the debt was more than 10,100 pokos because they had to sell Cpt. Olimar's ship. The S.S Dolphin this just happened to bring the debt down to 10,100 pokos. - [[User:Dr.eggpikmin|Dr.eggpikmin]] ([[User talk:Dr.eggpikmin|talk]] &bull; [[Special:Contributions/Dr.eggpikmin|contribs]])
:It says '''a debt of 10,100 pokos'''. This implies that it counted as 2 debts, though maybe not separate. - [[User:RainbowPikmin|RainbowPikmin]] ([[User talk:RainbowPikmin|talk]] &bull; [[Special:Contributions/RainbowPikmin|contribs]])
