It is unlikely that Quark was simply clueless about latinum, as – like his regular universe counterpart – he owned a bar. Latinum apparently did not hold a similar monetary value in the mirror universe, as the Quark of that universe had never heard of it. Later that year, Quark warned Martus Mazur, who had just "stole" Rom as an employee, that he should be careful because Rom " shaves the latinum." Rom denied the accusation, before admitting, "Not much." Later, using profits from his club, Martus Mazur provided con artist Alsia with just about 10,000 isiks worth of latinum. In 2370, Odo recorded in his security log that of the seriously injured Quark, " The Ferengi holds onto life like it's gold-pressed latinum." ( DS9: " Necessary Evil") 263rd Rule of Acquisition: " Never allow doubt to tarnish your lust for latinum." ( DS9: " Bar Association")ĭuring the mid- 23rd century, bounty hunters, even from Federation species like the Tellarites, might expect Starfleet ships to pay bounties in latinum, including by depositing it in their accounts.229th Rule of Acquisition: " Latinum lasts longer than lust." ( DS9: " Ferengi Love Songs").102nd Rule of Acquisition: " Nature decays, but latinum lasts forever." ( DS9: " The Jem'Hadar").75th Rule of Acquisition: " Home is where the heart is but the stars are made of latinum." ( DS9: " Civil Defense").Treasure them." ( DS9: " Armageddon Game") 57th Rule of Acquisition: " Good customers are as rare as latinum.Latinum was deeply ingrained in Ferengi culture, and was referenced in several of their Rules of Acquisition, with some dating back to a time prior to the mid- 22nd century. ( DS9: " Who Mourns for Morn?") Smuggling latinum was considered a crime by the Enolians. For ease of transaction, latinum was usually suspended within bits of gold as a binding medium to produce gold-pressed latinum. Latinum was a rare silver-colored liquid metal that was used as currency by the Ferengi Alliance, the Cardassians, and many other worlds. Quark estimated this to be about 100 bricks' worth. – Quark and Jadzia Dax, 2374 (" Who Mourns for Morn?")
