Merchants sold their goods and people bought their: onions, olive oil, wine; and pottery, furniture, lamps; and sandals and jewelry at the agora. Like a majority of the other city-states, Athens made its own coin system to make trading easier. Coins were made out of gold, silver, and bronze. On one side, their would be a picture of Athena. The other side had Athena's sacred bird, the owl.
