Do you really need a cash register to barter?

This question is flawed. You don't need anything to barter. But tell me which big box store you think would accept bartering. There's the real issue I'm referring to. Some local farms with a little shop may accept bartering, silver or similar but they aren't many, and can't just scale up their capacity by 1000x overnight.

Gold and silver has been the medium for trade for thousands of years.

Because 200 years ago and further back, nothing better existed. Gold and silver are also pretty useless for online trading. We live in a digital world where almost everything depends on computers. Have you ever actually experienced a longer power or internet outage? would you survive such event?
