Jul 22, 2023 · When working on my small Roblox project, I want to understand the correct display order for Robux amounts on what we see on PC and when to use the “+” symbol. While I know that 100 Robux is written as “100 Robux,” and 1000 Robux is displayed as “1,000 Robux,” I am unsure about representing larger amounts like 10,000 Robux (10k) or ...

Robux (formerly denoted by R$) is the virtual currency used across the Roblox platform. Robux was added on May 14, 2007. Robux were one of two currencies on the platform alongside Tix, which was removed on April 14, 2016. The Robux name was conceived by Shedletsky, being a portmanteau on "Roblox" and "bucks".
Robux is known as Roblox's primary currency by the community and staff; currently, all paid items within the avatar shop are sold for Robux, including user-created content such as microtransactions and passes.
Robux has been intertwined with meme culture as well. Memes based on a virtual currency typically mock Robux (as well as other in-game currencies, such as Fortnite's V-Bucks and Minecraft's Minecoins.) It is used both inside and outside of Roblox culture due to its state as an iconic virtual currency. An example is the Bobux meme that had been famous back in late 2020.
On November 21, 2019, the Robux icon was replaced from the former R$ symbol to a rounded hexagonal shape and the color was changed to gold. The usage of the former "R$" abbreviation was discouraged by Roblox after the icon replacement, most likely because an actual currency, the Brazilian real, uses the same abbreviation.
Roblox released the ability to purchase Robux through its website on September 26, 2008. The ability to purchase Robux through the Roblox Mobile App was released on December 11, 2012. Robux can also be purchased through a Roblox card, which can be purchased at many stores worldwide physically and online. Users with an active Premium membership will...
There are many items and features users can spend Robux on.
•For 100 Robux, users can create a group.
•For 25 Robux, group owners can create a new rank for their group.
•For 25 Robux, you can buy the cheapest paid access experience (such as Bloxburg).
•Before the new group layout, for 500 Robux, group owners could have created a clan for their group. Clans have since been removed.
•Formerly, only Builders Club (replaced by Roblox Premium) members could create groups.
Exchange Rate
The current exchange rate from Robux to USD is US$0.0035 cents per 1 Robux, and the amount of Robux able to be purchased per one USD cent is set at a base rate of 0.8.
Currency Exchange
With the November 2008 release of the Robux currency exchange, players were given the ability to exchange Tix into Robux and vice-versa. Roblox's exchange rate was based on user demand and typically hovered around 1 Robux for about 20 Tickets for market orders. However, on April 14, 2016, the currency exchange was shut down following the removal of tickets.
Developer's Exchange
The Developer's Exchange (shortened as DevEx) was released on October 1, 2016. This feature allows developers who meet specific qualifications to exchange Robux into real-life currency on a monthly basis. In order to qualify for DevEx, you have to be a community member in good standing, having earned over 30,000 Robux, a valid Devex Portal account, and be verified by email. Currently, developers earn US$105 per 30,000 Robux exchanged through DevEx. •On January 31, 2022, the minimum amount of Robux earned was lowered from 100,000 Robux to 50,000 Robux as well as users now no longer need an active Premium subscription.

Warning
DO NOT click on or give login details to any 3rd party service, experience or user claiming to reward "free Robux", "free Avatar Shop (catalog) items", or "free Premium membership". Robux, paid-for Avatar Shop items, and a Premium membership must all be purchased with real cash (in the case of Robux and a Premium membership) or Robux. (in the case of paid-for Avatar Shop items)
While certain users have claimed to gain free Robux and/or other usually paid-for items, these are either advertisements which violate the Terms of Use, or bot/hijacked accounts promoting a scam. Report any scams encountered to Roblox moderation and NEVER click on any suspicious links on the Roblox website or enter any code into the inspect console.
The value of Robux has decreased significantly since its initial release. With 3,297 Robux, a Roblox blog article once declared Miked as the wealthiest Roblox player. Today, many users have much more than this without being considered as wealthy by the community. This is largely due to the fact that new Robux is generated every time a user earns a monthly stipend from their Premium membership or purchases it directly from Roblox, which in turn contributes to the currency's inflation as an ever-growing amount of players continue to desire goods or features that cost Robux.
Current theories about the dramatic shift in Robux value are embedded in the idea of supply and demand. Supply and demand are typically inversely related, and the balance of both establish the equilibrium price. For example, by selling most of their items in the avatar shop for Robux and incentivizing users to exchange Robux for real-life currency through the Developer's Exchange system, the demand for Robux has increased. This increase in demand compared to a minimal increase in the supply of Robux creates a deficit of Robux.
According to the Developer's Exchange system, 1 Robux equals to US 0.35 cents, while the official Robux purchase system and the leftover currency exchange system says 1 Robux equals to US 1.25 dollars.
As of March 2022, Robux is said to be worth more than the Russian ruble due to sanctions against Russia by the international community in response to the country's invasion of Ukraine.
Sometime in early 2019, an image of a new icon was found in the Roblox files. The file was named robux@2x.png. Many users began to speculate that Robux would be replaced with another currency, while others believed only the icon would change. Roblox accidentally leaked the new Robux icon at the RDC 2019 event, and in response to a question regarding whether Robux would be replaced with another currency entirely, they stated that it would remain as Robux.
Later on, during November, the new icon was split into three colours: black, grey, and a yellow to gold gradient.
In the same month, it began to appear for random users as part of A/B testing. By the end of the month, it was enabled for all users.
The new icon has received controversy from many users, some stating that the icon has no resemblance to Robux, while others believe that it looks like a lug nut rather than any form of currency. Only a few stated that it was for the better, because the old Robux icon may be confused with the real-world currency, the Brazilian real, which uses the symbol R$.
•On August 11 2019, cirtain user also notices another different icon for Robux in Roblox Studio's files, which is clb_robux_20.png . It is a Roblox icon in a circle, sadly these icons never managed to release.
•Despite the icon change, as of January 2024, multiple old "R$" icon can still be found in the Roblox client files.
•When viewing a banned account, or when the Roblox site is experiencing problems, the Robux icon will display "?".
•In 2007, Robux was typically shortened down to RO$.
•On April 12, 2007, the first-place winner team of the Paintball Tournament on Ultimate Paintball received free Builders Club and Robux.
•In early 2021, Roblox partially rolled out a clothing fee, requiring users to pay a 50 Robux fee to upload a Shirt, Pants, or make their T-Shirt go on sale, which was later lowered to 10 Robux.
