What would you Replace Money With?

Food, Water, Ammunition, Security. That's about all we'll need.

Perhaps a swap of goods and services (of all kinds) could replace money.

A lot of the farmers I grew up around did just that. For example, a farmer could barter with a meat cutter to have all his cuts and wraps done for free in exchange for a few animals. Or you could clean out some coops for another farmer in exchange for a few laying hens. Help with the harvest in exchange for hay bales to feed your livestock over the winter or help plant a garden in exchange for some of that harvest in the fall...

Fuck I hate money, loath the stuff.

I could trade labour for labour, goods and services no problem

What about people that manufacture cars...say, what would you pay them in?...and how would you pay for a car? What about the welfare system and the NHS how would you fund them?

Labor.
If you work you get credits.
No work no credits.
Ohhh ain't that how it is supposed to work now?

What form would the credits take...bits of paper or metal or would you get a card with a chip to use them?

[JumpinJack]

I can see no other means of proper credit and debit accounting. Paper money is physical and useful along with all the other means of accounting. I think loathing of money has nothing to do with the object or record. What many hate is the abusive nature and never having enought of it. Just like the goods it buys.
