The 1.9 update is coming somewhat close, and that means NPC interaction... There is supposed to be trading, and my idea for the only way to trade are coins. For now, there should be iron, and gold coins. They are made by making a diamond shape on you crafting table with nothing in the middle....

Same recipe for iron coins, just with iron ingots. This recipe will give you 8 coins. gold coins are worth more.... thats pretty much my idea, because trading gold ingots just seems weird, and the currency could also be used on servers! leave some feedback... and click the green plus sign on the bottom right corner if you liked the idea.... Thanks!
unless the NPCs make use of coins, i dont see why players would. Coins have no built-in value, and if the players put a value on them, why not just put the value on the blocks themselves. then again, blocks are valued different with each player. but that makes a trading economy fun.
i think before we could even get into coins and item trading, we would need a more detailed trading interface, maybe even trading features for multiplayer that goes beyond dropping the item
why not just a simple trade window. i toss in my stuff, you toss in yours, i confirm, you confirm, items get traded. simple and I believe the most used in online games.

That would be good, but there still should be coin in case you want to buy something you can't get just the right value with.

Why does everyone think I don't have an avatar? Is there anyone who can see the one black pixel.
Please click the dragons, they need to grow. Also, my fully grown dragons can be found in my bio.
on a server, a set coin price should be made. I do agree for a trading window, but coins can be something a bit different. Shops can be made, so that there doesnt have to be a shopkeeper, you right click a cash box (register seems too modern) and it will display what kind of item(s) you want to buy. Coins will be the only way to pay.... The idea can also be made vice versa, where you can sell for coins.
WOW! I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING SO ORIGINAL IN MY WHOLE TIME ON THESE FORUMS!!!
THERE'S NO WAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN SUGGESTED OVER A HUNDRED TIMES!
/sarcasm
In all honesty, I dislike the idea of NPC trading for one big reason: Value
Who are we to put a set value on an item? While netherrack may be incredibly valuable to one person, it may be useless to another. Currency involves value, something that just doesn't work.

Yes, this idea has been suggest HUNDREDS of time! Why can't you just use gold nuggets/bars as currency. ( not to mention why cant you just search! )
