But a society with no money? Horseshit.
They never addressed it in TOS/TNG but in DS9 it's shown that there are economies out there (quark was great). I read a ST book a long time ago where bones got stuck out in the riim areas and it cost him a ton of credits just to make a subspace call. He lamented that the civilian realm didn't have the luxuries of the service. So it's there just sorta never paid attention to by the writers except in DS9.

Where is that hilarious YouTube clip of all the Star Trek contradictions? One had Ferengi lusting after gold, then in the next clip, it has Quark being showered with "gold, worthless gooold!" Always cracks me up.

Apparently vintage cars aren't worth shit in the future, either, because the young JT Kirk drives one off a cliff. Bastard.

"Star Trek" Set for IMAX (December 15th 2008)

Paramount Pictures and IMAX Corporation today announced that Star Trek, directed by J.J. Abrams (Mission: Impossible III, "Lost" and "Alias"), will be simultaneously released to both IMAX® and conventional theatres worldwide on May 8, 2009.

"Star Trek", which chronicles the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members, will be digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. Paramount Pictures will be the exclusive distributor of the film to IMAX theatres worldwide.

"We're excited to share the enhanced IMAX version of this film with the millions of dedicated fans who have been anticipating this release since production began," said Rob Moore, Vice Chairman, Paramount Pictures. "The IMAX Experience adds that extra level of excitement to an already action-packed film, giving moviegoers a premium 'event' at the multiplex."

Added J.J. Abrams, "I'm thrilled that audiences will be able to experience this new, epic world of 'Star Trek' - with an incredible cast and mind-blowing visual effects - on what is, obviously, the most remarkable film format in the world."

"'Star Trek' combines top Hollywood story-telling talent with space exploration, and each is very conducive to The IMAX Experience," said IMAX Co-Chairmen and Co-CEOs Richard L. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler. "Expanding our relationship with Paramount Pictures to include this film strengthens our 2009 slate, and with the continuing rollout of digital IMAX theatre systems, we will be able to offer the fan-base more locations to experience the epic first journey of the USS Enterprise in the most immersive way."

"Both 'Star Trek' and IMAX have taken audiences to far away places they would normally not be able to go, and in this case, it's space - the final frontier," added Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "J.J. Abrams has created a powerful movie that has fans worldwide feverishly anticipating its release. We are thrilled to partner with Paramount Pictures to bring J.J.'s exciting vision of this incredible space adventure to IMAX screens."

Sucks majorly that she died.

Btw, "credits" is basically money when you think about it.

And on the topic of gold, remember that episode where Quark thought Morn died and he found the crate with what he thought was huge ass bricks of gold pressed latinum. He busted them open and he was like "omg, they're empty! There's no latinum, just worthless gold!!!!"
