I am not 100% sure and just came across this site whilst asking myself a similar question.
There were several reasons for Sparta's choice in currency; first, it made thievery difficult, second, it discouraged the accumulation of private wealth which helped to maintain Eunomia, and finally, made bribery of officials difficult, preventing corruption.
Again not 100% sure. Base my sources on several Ancient History books that I am using for research in an assignment on Sparta before 500BC.
