Many, many times, Star Trek mentions the lack of money in the United Federation of Planets. And many, many times we see people buying things. Often, this is explained away with "dealing with border cultures". I was watching VOY episode: "Gifts" the other day. Kathryn Janeway tells Kes that a Vulcan master doubled his price for a lamp when he saw that Tuvok was in Starfleet. Are the Vulcan people some formerly unkown group of money hoarders? I really wish they'd just drop the whole "We don't get paid" bit. – AT2Howell 14:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
