Coaxium? I guess space-coke would be a little too on the nose here. There wouldn’t be much else that’d fit the bill for stealing and selling. Food would be useful in a “keep it and use it” way. Tech of some kind would fit the glowing blue cylinder, but would probably have a different name. And just money, well, that’d also be “keep it” as well, with a side of “is this what Star Wars money actually looks like?”.

Qi’ra: Did you deliver the coaxium? So Proxima will give us food for another day?
Alberto: No. I was in the middle of the exchange, about to hand it over, when I realised how valuable it was.
Alberto: So I ran for it, boosted this guy Alberto’s speeder, and... it’s ours now!
Qi’ra: The speeder?
Alberto: No, the coaxium! Although, yeah, I guess the speeder too. Cool.
Qi’ra: Proxima will kill you!
Alberto: No, we run for it! Use this to buy our way off-planet.
Qi’ra: Ohmygod that’s so romantic!
Jim: And we kissed again.
