I am cognizant that they currently do not have any monetary value associated to them... as yet. But if there were, what would that conversion rate be? and how did you arrive at that rate?

You would have to

* Have people pay to Ask To Answer, which would determine how much credits cost in USD. This lets you know what the demand is.
* Have a weekend where Ask To Answer is made free for all. This lets you know what the demand is in relation to suppy, and whether the supply is too high or low.

If this is done, the answer will most likely be no.

Quora could artificially affect the value by changing the supply through inflation designed to increase or lower the value of credits; or Quora affect the demand of credits by creating a mandatory tax. This will stop people hoarding credits.

If credits are ever exchangable for money, I would prefer they take a Bitcoin approach, where the supply and demand is purely determined by the civilians, and not the legislators.
