Bartering was used before money was invented. Bartering is the swopping of goods or services in exchange for something else.
Money is great, but it didn't always exist. Back in the DAY (ancient times) before paper money and coins, people used some pretty crazy stuff to exchange for goods and services. "Making it rain" at the club was impossible, since throwing a cow on a girl would kill her. Here are some things that people really used for currency before the invention of money.
COWS
LARGE STONES
GOLD
CLAM SHELLS
RICE
FISH
BEADS
