Just to be sure...
  • In the Early Middle very few could read and write (basically only monks and nuns, not even all the nobility) 
  • Due to this, the church has had a lot of influence on the information that we have from that time 
  • Coins were hardly used as payment in Europe. You bartered mainly (see chapter 2, TB 31) 
  • Travel was dangerous, but not uncommon. It was, as far as we can gather, mainly done by water, which was safer and quicker

Read the source
“We wish to let all people from Hamburg know that we have made an agreement with our friends, the citizens of Lübeck. The new silver coins which are now being minted in our city, and likewise in Lübeck, should weigh thirty-nine grams less than two silver coins to the mark. To make sure the new coins will last, the silver shall be mixed with half an ounce of copper.
Our friends from Lübeck have equally agreed that they will not mint any other new silver coins except these. We have agreed that we will not mint any other new silver coins without their consent. If it should happen that both our landlords, the Counts, should die, the citizens of Lübeck shall not hold us under suspicion.
To make sure that this agreement between us and the citizens of Lübeck may not be changed or broken, we have presented the citizens of Lübeck with this charter.”
