In the mid 1800's, grain sellers in Chicago would deliver their grain to warehouses and receive a paper receipt that represented their claim on the grain in storage.  These receipts became so widely used that grain traders began to use them as money, and they would use the warehouse receipts to settle debts and as collateral to secure short-term loans.  Despite their widespread use as a form of currency, the warehouse receipts were not fiat money because:   A. Grain is a commodity, so the receipts were commodity money and not fiat money   B. The receipts were not legal tender formally recognized by a government
Personal possession of currency is prohibited in U.S. prisons, although, in practice, prisoners still exchange goods and services. U.S. prisoners used cigarettes as a medium of exchange until smoking was banned in U.S. prisons in 2003. After 2003, prisoners looked to other items on the commissary menu to facilitate exchange.

When people need to make a payment, they can either withdraw their guilders or write a check on their account. Checks give the banks permission to transfer guilders from the account of the person paying by check to the account of the person to whom the check is made out. With a system of payments based on checks, the paper guilders need never leave the banking system, although they flow from one bank to another as a depositor of one bank makes a payment to a depositor in another bank.…
