Commodity money has value in itself while flat money has value only because it is given value
Commodity money can be used for some other purpose while Fiat money can only be used as a medium of exchange.Commodity (sometimes referred to as "Hard") money is currency which is fully backed by a specie (usually a precious metal i.e. Gold, Silver, or Platinum). Fiat money is backed only by a promise of the issuing government to honor the value of the bill or coin.
A commodity is a good that is worth money, there is no such thing as "commodity money". So if you have a good that was purchased from a vendor that is by definition a commodity, its value is whatever you paid for it, my suggestion is a mark up and that is its profit.
