The crew
Meet the Wealthonauts Characters
Captain Coin, Professor Ledger, Nova and Goldie guide every mission.
The Wealthonauts characters are four original guides who lead every mission across the money universe. Captain Coin leads the crew, Professor Ledger explains banking and contracts, Nova explains investing and business, and Goldie tells the history of money. Each has a distinct look, voice and specialty, so kids always know who is teaching.

Wealthonauts characters designed for books, games and screens
The Wealthonauts characters were designed with simple, recognizable silhouettes. For example, Captain Coin’s large bubble helmet, Nova’s ponytail, Professor Ledger’s boxy head and Goldie’s round shape stay readable even as small icons. Each character page includes a palette, proportions, personality notes and an illustration brief for artists.
All four characters are original creations of Wealthonauts. The artwork on this site is an in-house vector rendering; final book and animation art will follow the published character references.
How the crew works together
Each mission pairs a guide with the planet that matches their specialty. For instance, Goldie leads Money World, Professor Ledger leads Banking Galaxy, and Nova leads Stock Market Station. Meanwhile, Captain Coin travels everywhere and asks the questions kids are thinking. As a result, children meet the same friendly faces in lessons, games and books.
