A lot of medieval societies used gold and silver for their coinage, but has there ever been one that used a different material for money? And what economic impact would this society have upon being conquered and converted to good and silver coinage?

Well, copper and bronze for smaller denominations were also used. 

The economic impact would be a sudden collapse of capital as previous stocks of currency are wiped out.
