denomination is the physical representative (coins, bills, pieces, etc.) of trust in payment and actual tradable goods.

i.e. Rather than trading 10 chickens for one cow, the cow owner is paid in a denomination of a certain acceptable currency (usually only that country's) of equal value to 10 chickens, because:

1. the owner knows he can trade that denomination of currency for 10 chickens at any time.

and 2. its easier to carry bills, coins, etc. than 10 chickens in your pocket
