Since Volume changes based on environmental factors, mass generally shouldn't change, especially since it's our most basic form of measurement. I was thinking of using Metric Currency based on mass. If we're going to have the UFP create currency, with small hand held and pocketable currency, why not use the advanced replicators to create a coin shape that can hold the small amounts of Liquid Metal Latinum in small physical amounts that make sense in reasonable & understandable denominations. That works out to be ~ 0.1 ml = 1 Brick.Ĭonsidering some formulations of liquid metal on earth are measured in #.# g/cm³. It seems REALLY dumb to use that much mass to carry so little Latinum when ~ 10 ml in that tiny shot glass that Morn spit into is worth 100 Bricks. Hypothetically, if the UFP were to create their own denominations of Latinum to deal with the Ferengi and all other Alien races that use Latinum as a intermediate form of currency, what denomination should they use or create? So why on earth would you use that much pointless and worthless gold to contain so little Latinum? Wouldn't using modern 24th century technology to create a ultra tough pocketable coin be the better solution than carrying a physical brick of gold?Ī current day standard Brick of Gold weighs 12.4 kg or 27.4 lbs. Why is so much Gold used to contain so little Latinum? After thinking about the denominations of Gold Pressed Latinum and watching EC Henry's video on Gold Pressed Latinum, the break down of Denominations doesn't seem to make sense to me.
