** ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' would ditch money altogether.

to:

** ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' would ditch money altogether. Or, at least that was Gene Roddenberry's intention. That didn't stop Dr. Crusher from asking a merchant to charger her account on the ''Enterprise'', though. In the ''first episode'', no less. Maybe it was EarlyInstallmentWeirdness.

adding \"Hex\"

Added DiffLines:

* ''Hex'' by Rhiannon Lassiter, which takes place in the 24th century, uses credits as currency worldwide. As everything is computerised at this point, this system may be the logical next step after the use of credit cards and nonphysical monetary transactions became common.

* ''EVEOnline'' has a little more complex a take on things. ISK (Inter-Stellar Kredits) is not so much a global currency as it is a global ''exchange'' currency. Planetary economies and sometimes individual planetary nations almost all have their own currencies, ISK was merely setup as an exchange medium to manage the obscene amounts of money being used at the inter-stellar level - the popular saying goes you can retire comfortably planet-side basically anywhere in the cluster on single digit amounts of the stuff.
