Question

Of the following items, which form of currency is the most durable and portable?

Answer 1

The items which are most durable as a form of currency (and are also the most portable) would most likely be olive oil. Olive oil has a long shelf time and doesn't require nor take up much space. It is very precious in lower quantities and is therefore a good currency. 

In the early 1800s, stores weren't authorized to issue currency themselves.
