Money is a difficult thing to define.
bartering is as old as humanity. Then it is a very short step to using articles to assist with trading.
example A has an ritual axe, and trades it to B for some meat.
Now B has an axe.... he doesn't really need it so he barters it to C for some corn.
In that example, the ritual axe has not been used for it's designated purpose, it has merely been used to facilitate bartering, therfore it could be considered as a form of money
