Gold does come in three different denominations, but may be too farmable.
If you want to get really crazy, you could use books signed by a certain person to prevent counterfeiting. For convenience, both its name and first page could denote the value of it (again, to prevent counterfeiting via anvil).
Who exactly is going to be issuing the currency on this server? If it's an admin, make it so only books signed by them count as currency. They could give themselves as much money as they wanted anyway.

Wrong section, but I would say sponge if the admin is issueing the currency. It's impossible to get legit, so counterfeiting would be no problem. If it's vanilla go with gold, because it isn't very useful and it comes in 3 different forms. Farming is the only possible problem with this.
What section would this go in then?
Yeah this is just me and a few friends, and it's all vanilla.

We all gather our own resources, but we trade using currency.
This thread has already been moved by a mod to a more appropriate forum. Anyway, if your population is that small, I don't see the necessity of a standardized currency. A barter system should do just fine, especially since you already know everyone.

We have been using a barter system, but we wanted to do something different.
Just a fun kind of thing ya know?

There are things known as the 10 Suggestion Commandments. Many know the obvious, such as, "Thou shalt search before typing thy post," or, "Thou shalt not be vague," but one that no one knows is, "Thou shalt organize thy post." More people need to know of this commandment.
I was just wondering what a slightly silly -yet still practical- currency to use for a server with my friends would be.
We were thinking about using emeralds, as they are hard to find, but don't have any practical uses (almost like real life currency).
Or should it be something more practical like iron or diamonds, but that's a little too useful.
These are pretty acceptable, but we got to thinking about some silly but still useful currencies, and could use your suggestions.
What do you guys think?
It's just me and a few friends messing around.
We gather our own resources, but trade using currency, and was wondering what a suitable currency would be.
Hint: The more unconventional the currency the better!
I'm back from my hibernation. Most likely gone so don't pm me.

Oh I like that idea. I was thinking unsigned books as a possible currency, as they require different materials to make, and time to make them.
They still may be too farmable though.

So there's no admin or anything like that.

Or don't, fine by me...
The only problem with that is you need to go into the jungle to get cocoa beans, and I hate jungles XD
