It seems that in the Enterprise era, they still use money.

I go along with Andrew here. I'm not disputing you, Peacock, I'd just like an example of what you mean.

And which "they" are you talking about? Starfleet?
Remember that even in the 24th century, money is still be used. The Ferengi use gold-pressed latinum as their currency. But the Federation doesn't use currency.

Tucker definatly refered to wanting to be paid for some thing! i cant remember the exact episode, but it was in the 4th season and in engeneering between and a female. i remember being suprised at the comment but dismissed it as i assumed currency was still in use at this time

I Remember Archer saying that they did not carry precious metals at one point. Tucker had to strip off the platinum off of something to pay aliens once. Several times some one would say I'm buying when making plans to go out for drinks/dinner, but I don't ever recall anyone saying anything about what kind of currency they used.

Certainly they had to use the barter system from time to time when they interacted with other cultures. But I don't remember any references to them being paid in currency. But I could be wrong.

Money is a bit of a funny point in Trek anyway. Just go search "Star Trek Mistakes" on YouTube and there's a whole long clip!

I prefer not to think of them as "mistakes" but as areas of confusion which are inevitable when you translate 24th century concepts into 20th century English.
If we're still talking about money, in TOS they sometimes used "credits". Spock once refered to his "back pay".

I know but the video I was referring to with the confusion in *is* under "Star Trek Mistakes" and some of them are genuine mistakes. (Like Deanna claiming she'd never kissed Riker with a beard when she had done quite a few times...)

Maybe Deanna was so taken aback by Riker's beard when he kissed her that she momentarily forgot about his beard when they had kissed before. And since we're on the topic of Star Trek "mistakes," how about the fact that Spot started out as a male, but suddenly became female in "Genesis?" Mike Okuda, in the Star Trek Encyclopedia, posited that perhaps Spot was the unfortunate victim of a transporter accident.

I know members of my family (especially my Nan) sometimes say "he" when referring to our cat who is actually female!

I know members of my family (especially my Nan) sometimes say "he" when referring to our cat who is actually female! Yes, she was male. In fact, according to Memory Alpha when Spot first appeared in "Data's Day", he was a male, long-haired Somali cat. In subsequent appearances, he was seen as a more common American short-hair orange Tabby, but still a male. It wasn't until "Force of Nature" that Spot became female (which was probably because Spot being female would be crucial to the plot of an upcoming episode, "Genesis", but that's just my personal guess).

We are all guilty of simple miss-statements every now and then, like when I said the Motion Picture was released in 1978, when it was 1980. Deanna was obviously flirting with him, too, teasing him, so that had something to do with it. In one episode, I think "Ensigns of Command", Data had to leave the ship for a few days, and left Spot with Riker to take care of. If I remember correctly, he passed the responsibility on to Worf. I once theorized (tongue in cheek) that Spot was the victim of an unfortunate "accident" and had to be replaced.
