Latinum

Latinum is a rare silver liquid used as currency by many worlds on Star Trek, most notably the Ferengi Alliance. Latinum cannot be replicated and the reasons for its rarity are unknown. Latinum is usually suspended within the element gold to produce the currency Gold Pressed Latinum.

There are several different sizes of gold pressed Latinum: slips, strips, bars and bricks. Here’s how they relate to each other:

100 slips = 1 strip

 20 strips = 1 bar

 1 bar = 2000 slips

 1 brick = ? (no one knows)
