Gold was a precious metal[1] known since antiquity on Earth.[2] On Stardate 1329.1, Harry Mudd claimed that dilithium crystals[3] were "worth three hundred times their weight in diamonds, thousands of times their weight in gold."[1] Gold was found in appreciable quantities on Janus VI.[4] 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.[5]
