  • That’s how subsistence farmers were dragged into the market economy. Colonists liked doing that.

    But this was also done in the past for military campaigns. Provisioning an army is hard work. It’s easier if soldiers can buy stuff with gold along the way and the king demanding the gold back from the population. It’s the more realistic way currency use formed instead of the “suppose we want to barter” story. Villagers not going along with the program got torched.
