motherfucker killed Jadzia because he couldn’t stand Terry Farrell starring in a different series at the same time
More than that, Berman expected sexual favors from Terry Farrell and her refusals eventually cost her her job. Berman was a misanthropic asshole in general and tormented other actresses, too.
There’s a particular person here that likes to call people “children” if they don’t like Rick Berman’s war crimes enjoying, black ops spy shit, shoving currency into a moneyless society, and other Rick Bermanisms that while popular with “grown-ass adult” fans that like edgy shit, weren’t there in Trek before that (unless directly challenged like in TNG’s “The Drumhead” instead of just sort of seen as “adults in the room” pragmatic necessities because of writer contrivance).
If I wasn’t blocked by that user (who likes to actively announce that block regularly for some reason) I’d actively remind them that the source of their “adult” Trek was a vindictive sex pest creep.
i must have missed that episode, i don’t recall a federation currency. i remember non-federation aliens using money and some interactions between federation people and those money using aliens.
I mean the application of gold-pressed latinum in day to day Starfleet and Federation personnel’s transactions and interests on Deep Space Nine due to the Ferengi cultural overlap, because Berman wanted money regularly on the show as a plot point and arranged to make it happen, even contriving a way to make something that couldn’t be replicated so replicators couldn’t just ignore the money’s dubious value.
Lower Decks later, and rightfully, lampshaded that with Boilmer utterly ignoring the pretenses of that currency mattering.

Furthermore, on DS9, money was all but required for civilians and non-Federation residents to get by in their daily lives
How very Rick Berman of Rick Berman, huh?
