If we're going back to a barter society, I have a used spatula that I would trade for a chicken

another point that you dont owe anything is for an agreement to be legal you must have two wet ink signatures, not a photo copy of a signature which is illegal check your agreement you have signed it, have they signed it? if not that contract does not exist

You don't need an ink signature to form a valid contract. Contracts can be formed by email, online, by spoken word etc..

Alive or dead?
Actually your spatula won't cover either. I might consider an egg for a spatula.

Well in its purest form money isn't real and does not have value within itself, it is simply as way of exchanging value without actually moving the valuble items around ie trading food/gold/your time working.
Can you imagine you work 40 hrs then you boss comes home and paints your house, cleans your house, brings you around some bags of food he grew in his back field outside his house then hugs you to keep you warm in exchange lol.

I have watched that you tube vid a while ago and it is very interesting, but pretty much what we knew anyway. at the end of the day if the monetary system collasped for whatever reason then money in itself would have no value (accept maybe as good fire lighting stuff?).

Ah quite so, but that's a little different from the OPs assertion that the notes in his wallet are "worthless pieces of paper".
If he truly believes they're worthless, then I'm sure he'll be emptying his wallet now and handing the contents to the nearest passer-by.

Is this money isn't money thing like 'There is no spoon' or 'This is not a toilet. It is a picture of a toilet'

BTW, I'll offer you a box of tissues for the spatula

the_strawman

How many spatulas will I need to barter for a new car?

Where is the best place to save my spatulas and is there anywhere I can invest my spatulas so that they will increase in amount.

Spatulas don't exist, take that one up with your virtual bank manager
