I think you're reading into this too much.
Kirk was saying that the glasses will be sold as a gift to someone else.

Star Trek sucks anyway.....
Edit: Why do you even care in the first place?
Die a slow one. Much Trek is lame, there is no doubt, but for many a nerd with more imagination than coolness, the franchise is a fun, optimistic diversion at the least...
...and an embarrassing ruin-it-for-all-of-us obsession at the worst.
But many subforums are planted
right here for the same reasons?

The epitome of time travel paradox stories for me was "...All You Zombies" by Robert Heinlein.

The Federation doesn't use money. There's all kinds of other podunk cultures that still do.
I can only assume the Federation either keeps a stock of money around to deal with outsiders or it just strong-arms everyone like some Feudal lord. The reality is the writers just don't talk about it much.
