When asked how money makes trade easier, to me I think, money, for the most part, does not change its denomination. The value of each bill is printing onto the face of it. When value is established up front, there is no need for guesswork or evaluation, an individual is automatically aware of the value of money. Trading is only simple, if one is not attempting to determine if the values of what they are trading are equal. For example, when you want to purchase a car, and want to make a trade...
