Best Answer

Before money was invented people used a system called bartering where you would offer something you had for something that someone else had. Bartering caused many problems as people could not agree on how much a certain thing was worth compared to another. Also it's rare to find a trader who is interested in exchanging your goods with his goods. So to establish a standard, money was invented to solve the problems of bartering
You can't trade pigs heads for loaves anymore.

You need something that will work in every circumstance. Henceforth the money was born.
