Of course I'd need some 'money' — diamonds, gold, indentured labour, peppercorns (look it up) — for the mare and stud fees, but the point of cash, and it's real value as money is that we can all see it, and touch it and count it. All that's very, very low-tech, and that's we all value that 'money'.
