I think they used energon as a means to trade for something else or barter. Don't recall them using license plate sized bills or medium pizza sized coins. :tftongue

They used Energon and other goods which were probably weapon or spare parts.

Energon goodies, after all hot rod told Kup in the movie "this is getting expensive" when dealing/feeding the sharkticons ;)

That's to assume that the energon itself was the currency, and not that it might just have cost him a lot when he originally bought the energon with some other currency.

considering that tf's are war machines, i think they'd put more value on something's usfulness and practicallity as opposed to monetary value. such an example would be gold. while humans value gold only for its shine, tf's would value gold as a metal that can be used to reinforce armor plating.
