12.) Gold

For all the gold in the universe, only one mattered to Jim. It was the gold of the captain's shirt. The gold shirt the captain of the Enterprise wore. The gold shirt that he wore.

The only other gold that mattered even slightly was the gold in the chain and ring he had given to Bones. It wasn't the gold but the rings that were important.

He would not trade the gold of the Enterprise's captain for all the gold in the universe, there was nothing even close to the value of what that shirt represented. Not to James T. Kirk, Captain of the USS Enterprise.
