I thought it might be fun to conceptualize what Bits might look like up close. In-show they're just plain gold coins.

I was right! It was fun.

I always thought of them having Celestia's mark on one side, and Luna's on the other.

Luna's mark doesn't lend itself well to a coin. She can have, um. Paper money. Or credit cards?

Why not Luna's mark in the center of the sun symbol?

In medieval times, coins had the ruler's profile on one side and their coat of arms on the other. So Equestrian coins would have Celestia profile on "heads" and her sun cutie mark on "tails".

Now if you wanted to get alchemical, note that gold is the metal associated with the Sun, and silver is the metal associated with the Moon. We've only seen gold coins in the show, but it would make sense that there'd be silver ones too. And these would naturally have Luna's profile and cutie mark.

@bgpony I don't think there would be very many coins with Luna's profile on it. Considering at the start of the show, nopony remembered Nightmare Moon, much less Luna. If her profile was on the coins, then ponies would wonder who that was when the gold coins bore their ruler's image. Though now that Luna is back, there could be newly minted coins, but those might take some time to get into circulation good.

Unless "bits" is the actual name of the currency, it'd be weird to have a 5 Bit coin. A "bit" as we know it is an eighth of a full unit like a dollar.

The term "Bit" has been pretty much established as the name of the currency. Now I could easily imagine the silver coins mentioned by BGPony17 as being worth more than the gold ones as it was in antiquity.

I suggest that there are eight bits in an Equestrian kopeck.
