Latinum

Latinum is a silver liquid that due to its scarcity and the fact it cannot be replicated is used as a form of currency in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. For ease of transactions latinum is encased within gold.
The lowest common denomination of latinum used is a slip of latinum. The next highest is a strip of latinum, which is equivalent to a hundred slips. This is followed by a bar, which is equal to twenty strips or two thousand slips. The largest known denomination is a brick.
Terri Renu managed to raise just over two bars of latinum over a one to two year period. With this she was able to hire Dutain to retrieve information about her Bajoran heritage.
In an alternate universe where the Dominion won the Dominion War Quark gave Jake Sisko a small case of latinum to help him move on with his life after the death of Jake's father.
