As used in canon:

Huch nobHa'bogh verenganpu''e' yIvoqQo'
Don't trust Ferengi who give back money. TKW
Huch DaHutlh
You lack money. KGT
"Since there are any number of phrases involving money that could be taken
the wrong way if {Huch} is pronounced {Quch}, many tourists follow the
Klingon practice of using the term {DarSeqmey} (darseks) ... to refer to
money in general. Thus, 'You lack money' would be {DarSeqmey DaHutlh}
(literally, 'You lack darseks')." (KGT 194)
"... {HuchQeD} (literally, 'money science') is often used for 'economics'."
(KGT 148)
