Robux

Robux (R$) is the currency on Roblox. Robux was introduced on May 14, 2007 (alongside Tix ) as a replacement of ROBLOX Points. Robux was one of two currencies on the platform alongside Tix, which was removed on April 14, 2016.

Robux is known as Roblox's primary currency by the community and staff; all paid items within the avatar shop are sold for Robux, including user-created content such as microtransactions and game passes. The name 'Robux' is a portmanteau of Roblox and bucks.

On November 21, 2019, the Robux icon was replaced from the R$ symbol to a more generic honeycomb shape and was gold instead of green. The R$ abbreviation's usage was discouraged by Roblox after the icon replacement, most likely because an actual currency, the Brazilian real, uses the same abbreviation.
