Not sure if this counts as something "political" but, money is usually bad business. Well for me, I think we should go back to a practice called "bartering". Any other ideas, just post away. |

I was thinking the same thing. Barter was something people did before money. |

And further back in history, Romans used salt for their transactions. That's where the word "salary" came from Edited by Bry89, Apr 5 2018, 01:05 AM.

Salt was not a substitute for money then. It WAS their form of money. |

Leaves? Then we'd need to think of a new phrase to replace "Money doesn't grow on trees" .

Money doesn't grow... from the ground perhaps?

Money comes in all different shapes and sizes. You're not actually replacing money, you're just using leaves as money. |

But could that work out though? Or, would there be a flaw to it? |
