If there was a substitute for money, what would it be?

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 (and I'm totally not stealing of what Kyng mentioned recently).

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

Labor vouchers if you want some marxist alternative (which I disagree with but it counts)

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? :P

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?
