Detailed explanation-1: -One of the most important ways that the ancient Greek people were able to regulate their trade was by using coins. Coins allowed for the standardization of prices over a large geographical area, making it easier for merchants to establish a set value for their goods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Farming skills allowed the Greeks to produce more food than what they immediately needed. This extra food meant that most people in ancient Greece did not have to constantly worry about whether there would be enough food. This allowed them to pursue other trades and create goods that could be exported, or shipped out.
