Spartans were not supposed to have money as Lycurgus (an ancient spartan who basically made all their rules) forebade it as money was the root of all EVIL... 0_0 ...according to him at least. :-P
But the slaves(each male Spartan had two personal + number of them at home) were allowed to have money,and did all the buying for Spartans themselves.Also Periokoi were allowed to have money,so money did exist and was in use in Sparta.Only citizens-soldiers were not allowed to have or use any.
