Gold was a precious metal. On Stardate 1329.1, Harry Mudd claimed that dilithium crystals[1] were "worth three hundred times their weight in diamonds, thousands of times their weight in gold."[2] Gold was found in appreciable quantities on Janus VI.[3] Spock wanted gold to create a mnemonic memory circuit when he and Captain Kirk time traveled to 1930, but the pair did not have the money to buy any appreciable quantities of the metal.[4]
Notes and References
- ↑ Early episodes of Star Trek had lithium crystals as the power source of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, but this was quickly changed after a few episodes to dilithium, as the properties of lithium, a real substance, were well known, and the producers did not want to limit the writers of future episodes. This entry reflects that retcon.
