Hey, the exact translation for the word does seem a bit odd, but I searched online and there doesn't seem to be good equivalent term in English, the translations are generally either circulation, market or currency.

So I will translate the explanation I got from the Chinese wiki[1]:

The field where the medium of exchange of goods is currency

Then the English would be "currency exchange".

According to my experience with the phrase "currency exchange", it means exchanging currencies, not exchanging goods using one particular currency as the medium of exchange. So it would be a wrong translation.
