Money was invented for a reason. We've seen people try to use beans, etc. and it doesn't work.

In our family, where we began with no money, we like to say that we have discovered that God invented money so those who have it can help others.
The most interesting thing about the idea of money is that it makes it possible to measure something in previous ages we couldn't be sure about, and that something is power.
Growing up in inner-city Glasgow, it sometimes seemed to me money hadn't been invented.
Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes.
All human beings are very creative - full of potential, full of energy... So, money kind of allows them to express it... And if you're successful, you can take more money. You can expand your capacity, reach next level of capacity, and so on.
Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.
But if inventions have increased man's power over nature very much, then the real value of money is better measured for some purposes in labour than in commodities.
Money is like manure: if you don't spread it around, nothing grows.
Money is lonely anyway. When you got it, people always want it. You don't want to be used; sometimes you don't know where a cat is comin' from.
Money is like manure, of very little use except it be spread.
