Discussion of Forex Trading and Currency Trading

Are there any countries that DON'T use currency?

Any countries like a 3rd world one where they trade services? Such as if someone needed milk they'd …. I dunno, fix someone elses roof in exchange for milk. Something like that where they primarily do that instead of currency?

    there are some primitive societies on Pacific Islands, or deep inside Amazon jungle that have no contact with outside world and little specialization, hence barter is enough.

    Also when Soviet Union collapsed, people just started using dollars or vodka bottles as currency. Many companies used barter, often building pretty long "chains" with multiple participants. Like cigarette factory giving cigarettes to tractor factory, tractor factory giving tractors to farmers, farmers giving tobacco to cigarette factory. Ofc it was taking forever to arrange. Money would be a lot easier.
