This oft repeated narrative of the development of money is not based in any historical records or accounts. Virtual credit systems preceded currency which was developed as a way of quantifying debts. Currency even preceded barter. It appears that the only time barter was ever used in primitive societies was between strangers and potential enemies, and in civilizations when currency systems collapsed and people were acculturated with anti-communal market relations.
Anyway, I dig your videos.

I always though economics classes as boring but I learned more from the first few minutes of your video than in an entire year in a class put together.

What's More. that thing you held up, is NOT "money". but a CRIME. it says so right on it, "LEGAL TENDER"
Even worse, it's legal tender for "all DEBT public and PRIVATE."
"real Money" is not standard, it's emergent.
When the people with the SPEARS and "TOOLS" decided that can stab and beat the guy for his tiger skins unless he take what they insist in exchange, "legal tender", then the CRIME is the STANDARD.

What ever happen to supply and demand. Your videos though amusing, fail to note a variety of variables when analyzing current monetary trends. Eventually the barter system boils down to two individuals opinion of Time,Materials and self-worth. But don't worry, you enlightened highly educated college loners will get your chance to put your opinions to the test soon.
