I’m glad there is no money in the Federation. Unless you count credits. Which are not money. Unless you use thousands of them to pay the Barzans. Or give them to Starfleet officers to buy things like tribbles and drinks at Quark’s.

    I just want a fucking replicator and a holodeck. I’d be set for life with those two things.

    Also: Quark wouldn’t accept credits would he? I thought he only cared about gold pressed latinum, which is treated like cash and even comes in various denominations (slips, strips and bars). IIRC from one of the first season episodes of DS9, Starfleet stationed there are given like 5 slips a week or something. Which is barely anything at all.

      Quark is ferengi, he’ll accept anything of value, for a modest fee of course oh and you’d have to factor in the premium for currency conversion + a little extra on top for the effort to go out and convert credits. Then there’s also the middle man fee, the convenience fee and the using-credits-on-a-weekend fee…
