I wanted to know what gold-pressed latinum was, having heard about it on Deep Space 9. I looked it up 2 weeks ago. It's basically a currency which can't be beamed or replicated, thus preserving its value as a currency.

Interesting, and according to Wikipedia, first devised in the short story series: Venus Equilateral.
