They use a barter system instead of money. This is where you trade one good or service for another. Effectively, the rules and exchange rates are arbitrary and it depends on what the members agree on.

For example, let's say a farmer grows wheat. If the farmer needs a fish, then he could trade a bushel of wheat for a pound of fish.
