One of my favorite moments from Star Trek is in ST IV: The Voyage Home, when Kirk and the gang are stranded in 1980s San Francisco. They try to board a Muni bus and are promptly turned away.
Spock: What does it mean, “exact change”? Kirk: They’re still using money. We need to find some.
Not only is money a foreign concept to the crew, it’s so foreign they didn’t even remember it was used in the Twentieth Century.
