The kanji 貨 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, けいせいもじ). The semantic component is 貝 (shell, meaning valuable things in ancient times, later signifying money). The phonetic component is 化 (ka), which provides the sound. Together, they combine to form a character that originally meant "goods" or "valuable things" that were traded using shells.
