    Not the federation latnium is used by non federation worlds and occasionally by fed when dealing with non fed people but nobody in the fed uses it

      Im not sure they ever explicitly said it, or at least not in the Roddenberry era.

        Scotty says he “bought” a boat at one point, but I’ve also seen long explanations that “bought” doesn’t necessarily mean with money and it’s just a common Human expression for when you get something.

        I think it’s clear that on Federation worlds you can just rock up to a replicator and get anything that isn’t dangerous (and you can get the dangerous stuff with the right license/permit), but on the frontier/border areas (ie DS9) Federation citizens receive a stipend or a wage so that they can live “on the economy” along with the non-Federation citizens.
