replyCome on… It's been known for more than a century that bartering has never been the default mean of exchange among humans, can we kill this myth eventually?!

This is obviously not an attempt at anything remotely resembling documentary history. It’s more of a just so story explaining what problem each step solved.
replyUnless of course one thinks that smooth gray stones from a riverbed two miles away reflects some historically significant point in money’s evolution.
There might be a point in there, but it might also just be paragraphs of text with little structure joined together.
What's the narrative? What does this want to tell me? And why?
Something like an opening header block with 2-5 sentences would go a long way.
Also, you can often derive the what if you know the why and just follow the thread and map it out.
