How were the money and the barter system used in the Virginia colony?

In the Virginia colony, the economy initially relied heavily on the barter system, where goods and services were exchanged directly without the use of money. However, as the colony developed, the introduction of currency, such as tobacco and other commodities, began to facilitate trade and simplify transactions. Tobacco became a key cash crop, serving as both a medium of exchange and a measure of wealth. Over time, the use of money helped to promote economic growth and stabilize commerce within the colony.

How did Jamestown earn the money?

When the colony first got to America, they looked for gold and silver, which eventually led them to disaster. After the first winter, they realized that looking for gold and silver wasn't the best approach to settling there. John Smith, learned from the nearby Indians that tobacco could be grown in the soil here. After a while, tobacco became one of the biggest its in Europe so the tobacco selling in the colony grew. Tobacco saved the colony from disaster. So that is what the colony made its money off of! -GOOD QUESTION, I'm sure not a lot of people know this.
