For the RPG 'An Audience with the King' words like 'seed money' and 'upfront investment' come to the tip of my tongue (well, really the tips of my fingers ) but they aren't of course relevant here. I don't know enough about the rise of the capitalist system in early modern Europe to be able to write about the developing trading alliances in the early IV Age.

Logically, since middle-earth in the first years of fedualism, I would say barter trade would be the popular form of economic trade. The use of gold and precious metals in the form of coin is a easy way to go about it.
I feel middle-earth would have a combination of both, one dominating in one area more then another.
