- During their rule, House Harkonnen took 10 billion solaris out of Arrakis every 330 standard days.

Behind the Scenes
Most references to solaris were made in the original Dune novel. They weren't mentioned at all again until Heretics of Dune, where they are mentioned in passing as still in active use despite taking place five thousand years after the events of the first book. The Spacing Guild is still active in Heretics, however (albeit in diminished form), so apparently they still use the same name for their currency.
