  Chickens aren’t currency. Trade and currency are two different things.

    I’d counter that prostitution is sex work in exchange for something of value, and chickens still 100% qualify. I don’t think splitting hairs on currency vs. chickens changes anything here

      Exchanging things is trade. Currency is a medium of exchange. Not having currency doesn’t stop trade, it just makes it more difficult.

        Chickens would be a medium of exchange in this scenario.
