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.
