Name it after subatomic particles. A hundred quarks would make a gluon, ten would be a photon, twenty-five would be a lepton, fifty would be a muon, and a hundred would be one boson. There would also be a two boson coin, called a Higgs boson, but no-one would ever know what they look like.

The currency itself would be called the baryon (which would quickly become the universal currency), but anyone carrying around significant quantities would unfortunately be at a much higher risk of attack by photino birds.
