The ancient Greeks had a seemingly basic form of economy, initially items would be traded for, however during the 6th century coins are minted in a number of Greek city states, the first one being Aegina. These coins, initially minted from electrum, a naturally occurring alloy of silver and gold, facilitated the efficiency of trade in the ancient world as they were easily regulated as well as easy to transport.

My 2 cents...The Athenians, especially during the times when it had control of an empire, had a great economy, it traded corn produced in the Chersonesse, and had a standardised currency for the whol empire....Sparta on the other hand, kept to itself and rarely traded, not reveared for their outstanding arts and literature, or any produce exports, they didn't really have need to trade.
