Federation Credit

The Federation credit is the monetary unit of the United Federation of Planets.

Although it has been stated on more than one occasion that the economy of the future was very different, and that money no longer existed in the Federation as late as the 24th century (Star Trek: First Contact), some sort of monetary system still existed and could be accessible to Federation citizens (see Other Mentions below).

In the 24th century, some establishments would not accept Federation credits.
