Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Money is nothing but a bunch of IOUs to make bartering easier.
There is no evidence that bartering was a precursor to currency, in fact the opposite is more likely the case. Bartering is used by people who already have an understanding of currency when they don't have money to use.
