Replicators, which are universal and basic.
But is not income
It, uh...makes...food...uh...come in...?
Money has a definition. It is exchanged for goods and services. In the Star Trek universe, they are not trading replicators in exchange for goods and services, the goods are made by the replicator and services are provided freely. Therefore replicators are not money or income or anything.
Money has a definition, but "income" is the word used, and that's a euphemism that could be remapped.
