They used round stones, difficult to trade and no intrinsic value, the currency was not accepted outside of Sparta. It kept all their "money" in their local economy. ANSWER is that they used money like all the rest of the Greeks,only Spartan citizens/read soldiers were not allowed to have or possess any, so the buying and trade was done for them by slaves.And trade between cities was done by dwellers of Sparta that were not full citizens (were not born to mother and father Spartan,complicated story...) The stone money has more metaphorical meaning.
The Peloponnesian League was created by Sparta and its allies to dominate trade and government in the Greek city-states.

No the Athens and Sparta didnÍt trade. They both had different cultures and governments but both had power over Greece. The Athens had free speaking and democracy and smaller city-states to form a more powerful rule. The Sparta had a strong military and lots of land.

Sparta was a rural society. The city was more like a collection of villages. It lived frugally on its produce rather than on trade.
I think they invented coins for trade, and they also invented a political system.
While Athenian economy had depended on trade, Sparta's economy had relied upon farming and on conquering other people.
Athens avoided fighting on land during the Peloponnesian War because they lacked a strong land army compared to their rival, Sparta. Instead, Athens relied on their powerful navy to maintain control of the sea, protect their trade routes, and launch naval attacks on Spartan territories. They also relied on alliances with other city-states and their strong fortifications, such as the Long Walls, to defend their city.
