Wait did you say money?

Money doesn't exist in the situation you describe. Who is issuing the money? At best trading for good is the best possible.

Money is just a concept. Whether that's governement issued legal tender, gold, cigarettes or coffee beans doesn't really matter. Silver coins were in use long before governments started stamping them.
