...Well... I guess the easiest way to put it is it's a way of making trade more easily recordable? So....someone who works in one job making clothes gets paid a certain amount of money. In turn, they can use that money, in a particular amount, to pay for....that sword, for example! And that pay would then cover for the use of materials, and the skill needed for the blacksmith to have made that sword!
Basically, since not everyone needs to trade their goods, or has more than a skill, you use money to represent it and keep everyone cycling through what they need~
[This is the Very Nice way of explaining money. Very nice.]
Mnnnn...silver though... ...maybe it would be better to have a sword covered with silver? It's a metal that lots of supernatural things are weak to, so I can see why someone would want it...
