a few times a year they meet and swop vegetables. She gives ten potatoes for each cabbage.
The bad news is this, Potatoes are ready in June, cabbages are ready in September, so your missus hands over ten potatoes and gets a promise in return. I owe you one cabbage. Your neighbour writes it down, it's an IOU.
It's also currency.
I owe you one cabbage. I promise to pay the bearer on demand, one cabbage.
Funny thing is, that piece of paper has nothing to do with real cabbages. You cant eat it either. Your neighbour could print the missus another one, I owe you TWO cabbages. BUT.. she might not even be growing cabbages when september comes, she might have nothing to back it up.
