A check has your checking account number on it. Please don't write checks. Use cash.

Cash has a globally unique identifiable number on it for tracing. Please use the barter system.

Cash has an identifier on it, but unlike a check that identifier doesn't identify you.

There is no currency in bartering. Its the term for trading things directly. I have bread, you have apples, you give me apples and I give you bread.

I guess the sarcasm detection of lemmings is similarly bad as the one of redditors? Nobody is seriously suggesting that bartering is the way to go. I'm just pointing out that asking about currency in the context of bartering makes no sense. The user who replied before did that in a joking manner.
