Indeed, as I've said in the past, money is a technology, and different technologies can be applied to different purposes.

Stocks would continue to be denominated in shares. I've never heard of a stock being denominated in currency, but maybe there is one out there like that. A share is usually something like I own 1/N of the interest in the company so the formula of ownership is m/N where m is number shares you own and N is the number of total shares (some simplification here, but roughly accurate). Market clearing determines how much people will pay for a stock, which happens in all sorts of currencies.
