As I have said, patatoes won't work. You can grow them, and eat them. But as people get a lot of them, they won't want any more of them. Or they don't like to eat potatoes...then what. They won't buy them from you.
Plus they would be a pain in the ass to carry around.
How many potatoes for a high end computer? How much for a gun? How much for a tractor. How much for an acre of land? It would be worse than the days when a Pound Sterling actually weighed a pound.
How do you subdivide a potato and have it keep any worth for later trades?
