Credit
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
The Federation Credit is the monetary unit of the United Federation of Planets. Credits were used extensively throughout the Alpha Quadrant as the Federation's power and prestige rose in the 23rd Century. (TOS episode: "The Trouble With Tribbles"; VAN novel: Harbinger.) Their use declined after the invention of replicators and the transformation of much of the Federation economy's goods into free services; however, they continue to exist and be traded in such institutions as the Bank of Bolias. (DS9 episode: "Honor Among Thieves").
The credit became the Federation's standard currency unit in 2227. (ST roleplay module: All Our Yesterdays: The Time Travel Sourcebook)
The USS Enterprise cost fifty billion credits to make. (TOS novelization: Mirror, Mirror)
Commander William Riker gave the Ferengi trader Myynagi a few credits for a sample of transinium in 2364. (TNG video game: The Transinium Challenge)
