- When he accepted energy credits, Hadron would buy items at the minimum 50% markdown (unlike most Ferengi)
- The name "Hadron," like "Quark," is a reference to particle physics. Hadrons are a class of particles composed of two or more quarks. Protons and neutrons are both examples of hadrons.

Star Trek 101: Latinum
Let's get into the Ferengi's favorite currency.
StarTrek.com
Star Trek 101 serves two functions: succinctly introduce Star Trek newcomers to the basic foundations and elements of the franchise and refresh the memories of longtime Trek fans. We're pulling our entries from the book Star Trek 101: A Practical Guide to Who, What, Where, And Why , written by Terry J. Erdmann & Paula M. Block and published in 2008 by Pocket Books. An invaluable resource, it encompasses The Original Series, , The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise, as well as the first 10 Trek feature films.
Today, we share Star Trek 101 's file on Latinum.
As Star Trek would have it, life is so rosy in the future that folks don’t have any need for money. (Don’t ask us how they get stuff — it’s one of Star Trek ’s fuzzier areas.) The Ferengi, on the other hand, love money — or rather, latinum, a highly precious liquid metal. It’s generally referred to as gold-pressed latinum, because it comes inside gold ingots, in denominations of slips, strips, bars, and bricks.
Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann are coauthors of numerous books about the entertainment industry, including Star Trek 101; Star Trek Costumes: Fifty Years of Fashion from the Final Frontier; Star Trek: The Original Series 365; and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion . They currently are writing the latest in their series of Ferengi novellas, which (so far) includes Lust’s Latinum Lost (and Found) ; and Rules of Accusation . As noted, their most recent non- Trek book is Labyrinth: The Ultimate Visual History .

Star Trek Online Wiki. in: Currency. Gold-Pressed Latinum. Latinum is a rare silver liquid used as currency by many worlds, 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 (GPL) .

Latinum is purely for "for fun" items as well as decorative piles of Latinum for your ship's bar. #2. AbsynthMinded Feb 17, 2015 @ 6:57am. It was another pitiful effort at story immersion that failed to develop anything useful. #3.
This guide will help you to get all the Gold Pressed Latinum you could ever ask for using the quickest method available. Let me know if there's anything you'...
Latinum ist für gewöhnlich im Element Gold eingelassen, um somit als Währung 'Goldgepresstes Latinum' (GgL) zu fungieren. Zu den Bezeichnungen von goldgepresstem Latinum, in der Reihenfolge der Wertsteigerung nach Kanon, gehören der Schein, der Streifen, die Stange und der Stein. Innerhalb von Star Trek Online werden auch der Latinum Barren ...

The molecules of gold-pressed latinum are arranged in a nearly crystalline pattern that depends upon the precise orientation of eighty-eight 'fractal legs' of atoms. When the replicator attempts to duplicate the pattern, the second fractal leg induces a spontaneous reorientation of the first.
You can buy clothes, holo disguises, dance balls, trophies. But nothing really useful. #1. Agnithrax Jun 29, 2020 @ 7:41pm. Nupe, but at least the trophies are expensive af in latinum so it feels like you got something special. #2. VoodooMike Jun 29, 2020 @ 8:29pm. You use it to play dabo to complete the occasional PE.
Vanity items for GPL (latinum exchange on DS9, Drozana, Risa atleast). No such thing as free Zen. Either buy it with real money, or exchange dilithium to Zen.
Dabo is basically it for converting EC to GPL, though you do get some GPL for selling prisoners to Orion slavers (which is mostly useful for its Marauding XP return) or turning in Tribble corpses to Klingon security. In short, Fed and Rom Fed Toons can only earn GPL using Dabo, or using Trade items X for GPL Doff Missions. The KDF and KDF-Rom ...
Latinum comes in 4 denominations slips, strips, bars, and bricks (from smallest to largest). From the Memory-Alpha entry on Latinum: Slips - One hundred slips of gold-pressed latinum are equal to one strip. Strips - Twenty strips are equal to one bar of latinum. Bars - The exchange rate from bars to bricks is unknown. Bricks
The currency known as "gold-pressed latinum" is ubiquitous in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but what if we could assign an actual modern currency value to it? ...
1. I don't think this is answer in canon, although the name alone is sufficient description. "Pressed" refers to the bar being extruded (at a low temperature) and stamped. It refers to how it was made, not what it is. So it could very well be "pressed gold encasing latinum" and also be correctly called "gold pressed latinum."
The Perth Mint, following the release of previous Star Trek coins, has announced a limited edition Gold-Pressed Latinum Slip commemorating the cultural phenomenon from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Struck from 1-oz of 99.9% pure silver, the unique bar is fully gold-plated and inclu des the maker's mark. Lat inum, as seen on DS9, was a rare ...
Unfortunately, the cost of a crate of root beer appears to have gone up by in the years since that post and now a slip of latinum converts to about $3 USD if we round up. Updating the chart made by r/athornton436 latinum now converts to: 1 slip / $3 = cost to enter a Ferengi's home. 10 slips / $30 = a case of root beer.

Gold isn't really very good for much, but it's rare so we value it. Latinum is also a liquid so they standardize a measurement (bits, strips, bars) and encase it in gold. It works like a stort of interstellar currency. You get some latinum and then exchange it for credits or something when you go to different planets.
