Gaila began his career in the weapons business in 2333. ( DS9: " Civil Defense", " The Way of the Warrior") Odo noted that he knew Gaila to be a more devious Ferengi than Quark, his cousin. He was successful enough to buy his own moon. Gaila was a male Ferengi and arms dealer of the Ferengi Alliance in the 24th century. So this would put the value of a bar of gold-pressed latinum at $1,000.– Gaila, 2374 (" The Magnificent Ferengi") All of these are reasonable prices (except the PJs, which were purchased under duress by Rom, who can't bargain), depending on quality. I'm going to put a rough ballpark that 1 slip is about equal to $0.50, which would make a case of root beer $5, a set of pajamas $100, a uniform $250 (which I'm assuming is about like a suit), and a dress $850. These are what I could find that might have real-world equivalents. Garak charges 17 strips (1700 slips) for a dress Garak charged Nog 5 strips (500 slips) for a cadet's uniform Nog sells his pajamas to Rom for 2 strips (200 slips) Quark charges Rom 10 slips for a crate of root beer Let's see what we can nail down in terms of exact purchases, courtesy of There is 100 slips of gold-pressed latinum to a strip, and 20 strips to a bar. I'll quote my attempt at figuring out what Latinum is worth in modern dollars:īreaking the 4th wall for this one. It came up on r/AskScienceFiction a while back. shows all the purchases through DS9.įor sake of argument, let's value Quarks at $1,000,000. Then all you need to do is ascertain one of those values (ideally). Rom actually offers 5000 Bars for quarks bar btw.ġ Bar = 20 Strips = 2000 Slips (i.e 20 x 100) The exchange rate from bars to bricks is unknown.One bar of gold-pressed latinum is equal to twenty strips or 2,000 slips of latinum.Twenty strips are equal to one bar of latinum.One hundred slips of gold-pressed latinum are equal to one strip.Denominations of gold-pressed latinum, in order of increasing value, include the slip, the strip, the bar and the brick."Twovix" & "I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee" Think for yourself: Topics that boil down to "Should I watch.", "Will I like.", "Change my view on.", "Does anyone else.", or "Tell me what to think" are not contributing anything to the community.Ĭlick here for the full & detailed guidelines Upcoming Episodes: Date Meta: Send a modmail instead of making public posts or comments about: other users of this subreddit, the rules or moderators, the community at large or other subreddits, downvotes/upvotes.Ĩ.
