Two Faced

I am two-faced, but bear one head. Men spill their blood for me. I have no legs but travel widely. I make kings immortal. I am potent when shared, yet lust for my power keeps me locked away. What am I?

Answer

A coin. Coins have two faces, heads and tails. People fight for money, and money travels far and wide. Kings live on when they’re depicted on a coin. Sharing money with others is a meaningful experience yet many people keep their money locked up.
