Middle Earth Info on Money:

Money
Contrary to the claims of some, there are references to money in the Lord of the Rings, chiefly in connection with Bree. There, a pony was worth about four silver pennies, the loss of thirty silver pennies was a hard blow
to the well-off Barliman Butterbur, and a gold piece was a truly extravagant reward for good news. Nár was given "a few coins of little worth" by Azog as an insult. Bilbo's gold and silver from Erebor were probably minted. In all probability there were many different kinds of currency, and these currencies were no doubt mutually exchangeable, as in medieval Europe.
