Apollo desired the Flute, so Hermes bartered with Apollo and received his golden wand which Hermes later used as his heralds staff. (In other versions Zeus gave Hermes his heralds staff). (cite from http://www.pantheon.org/articles/h/hermes.html)
Hermes symbols were a staff or caduceus.

Hermes stole Apollo's cattle when he was five minutes old, and when Apollo found out, he was upset. Hermes had made the first lyre (stringed instrument similar to a harp) and Apollo wanted it. Some versions say Apollo traded the cattle for the lyre, so Hermes made a flute, a panflute. Apollo also liked the panflute and traded this staff, The Herald's staff of Caduceus, and in return Hermes gave him the panflute.
a wand
Nothing.
Actually, Hermes didn't carry a wand. He carried a caduceus, which is a staff that has two snakes intertwined on it.
It used to be a heralds wand; and Hermes was the god of heralds - being the herald and messenger of Zeus.
Hermes used a caduceus which is basically like a magic wand. Using the caduceus enables him to channel magical enemies, turn things into gold, and control humans and other beings that aren't gods.
Caduceus' hahahahahhahahahahaha =) =]
A herald's rod is also called a caduceus or Wand of Hermes. It is a winged rod with two serpents and leaves wound around it.
No, the caduceus is the symbol of Hermes.
