Two thoughts come to mind.
First bartering with skills is still alive and kicking, we do it up here quiet a lot,.. only a few months ago I had a guy go on my roof to add a cowl,.. I did his lawn,... I have lived here for over ten years and I have forgotten how many times I have bartered skills
The other thing is, that we already have a currency,.. I know that people are talking about Gold and Silver,.. but it doesnt matter what it is if everyone can buy and sell with it,.... so why change anything, stay with the money we already have, providing I can get goods with it,.and the man I buy from can do the same then the currency works.
We could never ever have a moneyless society, or we face losing many good skilled people who just happen to be poor, not everyone is a practical person,.. not being sexist here, but how many women would we lose, .. everyone will need money in one form or another, and why look for a currency when we already have one

A major part of survival is invisibility.
