Maybe I have misunderstood and Pali is just referring to single transactions?
The shop won't use one currency. Basically, allowing platinum tokens to be bought with both items and coins would mean people could just pass on using items ever to buy rares. The shop would incorporate two seperate currencies, both of which would be required to buy rares, and each would have a specific way of being obtained.
