*The intrinsic value of Pokos fluctuates within ''Pikmin 2'' and across games to ''Pikmin 3'', rather like real [[wikipedia:Fiat money|fiat money]]; thus, there is no one conversion value to a real-life currency. It can be determined, however, that one Poko is worth much less than the 2004+ US dollar. For example, the worn gold and copper in the [[Lustrous Element]] (assuming it is a typical 1850s gold dollar, at about 1.7 grams or .05 troy ounces) would yield a value in 2004 of around $22.02; meanwhile the high demand for it on Hocotate makes it worth 1000 Pokos. By this "Lustrous Element standard," $2.02 is close to a year's salary for a Hocotate Freight worker. | *The intrinsic value of Pokos fluctuates within ''Pikmin 2'' and across games to ''Pikmin 3'', rather like real [[wikipedia:Fiat money|fiat money]]; thus, there is no one conversion value to a real-life currency.
