One reason why traditional societies did not use money is because they operated on a barter system instead. In a barter system, goods and services were exchanged directly for other goods and services without the use of a standardized medium of exchange like money. This was often more practical and efficient in small, close-knit communities where individuals knew each other and their needs and resources. Additionally, in traditional societies, social relationships played a significant role in determining exchanges, rather than the impersonal exchange facilitated by money.
