It is meant that if a man wanted something, he had to find someone who had that article and offer him something in exchange. In time certain things like cows, tobacco, grains, skins, salt and beads were all used as money among people who were always ready to accept them. Later on all these varieties of money were replaced by pieces of metal, specially gold and silver. After that coins were made of a certain purity and weight and these represented certain amounts of various objects.
