I think there were currencies in M-e, yet I don't think there was one for the whole of M-e. At the end of the Hobbit, Bilbo found that his belongings were sold at an auction (sp?), so that suggests that there was money in the Shire. About other parts I don't know about this, but I think that each region or kingdom had it's own currency, but if there were appointsments about value of these I don't know. I guess trading was an individual process... just try and get along with the other for your benefit.
greetings,
