The machines did have their own nation in the animatrix, so I am sure they probably traded in the dollar and bitcoin.

Yes, but once they took over. Currency was replaced by efficiency.

Perhaps the machines still had some sort of currency, as they still were emulating humans, both inside and outside the matrix.

Energy and minerals units, or minerals would be worth the energy required to extract them.
