*The intrinsic value of Pokos fluctuates within ''Pikmin 2'' and across games to ''Pikmin 3'', rather like real {{w|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 {{w|fiat money}}; thus, there is no one conversion value to a real-life currency.

*One may also argue that the value of Pokos is extremely high, ranging from anywhere between about $150 - $560, but given the vagueness of how much 100 pokos is which is "More than a year's salary." The average pay of a freight worker is about 20000 per year, so plugging that into proportions we can determine the cost of pokos through this method. Using a reasonable range of numbers divisible by 12 under 100 (In this case, 36-60) we come out with values that round out to $150 and $560. The lower half of the scale is more likely, as hocotate freight was entrusted to move golden pikpik carrots which by this custom standard(And minus the S.S. Dolphin's Unknown cost) is worth between $1.5 - $5.7 million US. Dollars, and one might want to move expensive cargo such as this to a well respected and prosperous freight company. | |||
