Nice. Learn something new every day.
The federation doesn’t have money the have solved the scarcity problem
Latnium exists
Not the federation latnium is used by non federation worlds and occasionally by fed when dealing with non fed people but nobody in the fed uses it
Im not sure they ever explicitly said it, or at least not in the Roddenberry era.

Kirk says money doesn’t exist in the voyage home
While money may not exist on Earth or the core worlds (or the entire federation) per se, there still are Federation credits for use on non-federation worlds, space stations near independent powers, and for commerce with other independent nations (like the negotiations for the Barzan Wormhole). So maybe like on Ferenginar (if it can convert into Latinum) Qo’noS (if they have money), Romulus, or any other economy. So while he may not of used money (as he only bought from Federation worlds), there still is money. It also can be used for worlds which have not made the transition to a post-scarcity/money environment. And to add to that, the Bank of Bolarus implies that some money is used by the federation. So while you are right in that citizens of the federation probably get stuff for free, that doesn’t mean money doesn’t necessarily exist (which you did point out.)

Your*
Seriously, this is an easy solution.
Harmless fun to raise morale is logical
Bank bans morale-boosting activities, desperately needed when you live in a place like Canada.
Medically-assisted suicide becomes legal amid protest and rising demand.
Coincidence? I think not…
Bank of Canada urges
I’m gonna go with “Bank of Canada doesn’t actually give a shit and just released a boiler plate statement about defacing currency.”
So apparently in Canada it’s actually illegal to deface currency. Like the act itself is a crime with a prison term. It’s not like the US where it’s only illegal if you do it for the purpose of fraud.
Which is a fucking stupid law if you ask me, as a Canadian.
Oh Canada, please don’t stop “Spocking” the 5’ers!
That was the original opening line of the national anthem, before the party poopers took it out
This is one of the most funny bank recommendations I have seen in a long time
I haven’t seen one of those $5 bills for a very long time.
Okay, Lemmy, which one of you was it?
I grew up in a town of about 25k. I didn’t make it but there was one that floated around our town for quite a few years. I spose it’s possible there were multiple, but it was always fun getting the Spock 5!
*raises hand*
But look it was like a decade or two ago!
:19::84:
As and American I’m gonna say “fuck the government, scribble away.”
So we’ve got the Loonie, the Twonie, and the Ex.
Die soon in poverty
Might as well have some fun with it, you won’t be able to buy a penny candy with it by the end of the year at the rate we’re going.
