Best Answer

Before currency, there was only a barter economy in which one person trades one good for another. This relies on the assumption that there is a double coincidence of wants, e.g. one person who grows corn who wanted to trade for hogs must find someone who raises hogs that wanted corn. Currency eliminated this because it is a medium of exchange, thus facilitating trade.
