Yeah, I like being thrown into a new world and still somehow understanding the basics of it so it’s familiar. No need to name everything differently if that’s not the focus of the game.
Credits will do fine

Tropes exist because they work and who cares what the money is called

Credits are for future and guns, it’s coins/pieces of gold/silver when swords.

The money can’t be any real earth currency, and making up something like florbs would also make people roll their eyes. Credits is fine

Exactly. You've got limited time to tell your story in a movie, so establishing a fake currency that nobody except hardcore numistatics nerds will care about is kinda pointless when everyone already understands that credits = future money.
And as you say using a real currency will at best make no sense, or at worst offend a group of people who may boycott your movie.
I image its the same reason for the Gold/Silver currency in many fantasy settings.

I think that’s also because a couple hundred years ago practically every currency was just a certain weight of gold, silver or copper. Different coins were just an easy way to recognize the weight.
