Someone asked for it,, okay, >>MONEY!!

 Now, it is necessary for me to mention that Pink Floyd did do , Money, as best as they could, But without serious digression, we should press on to something like a point.

Now, if you wildly tear through the fragments of history, then you might admit that " counting " may have preceded, money or exchanges of any truly serious , serious in the sense of exchanges where, money, might be necessary or appropriate.  

Now, if we imagine throughout human history, 1,000 would be a lot. So much so, that if some loyal servant would show up and say to some random King, well, we got 1,000 radishes in our garden,  the King would probably send his Main Dude What Is, to check that out , unless he really likes radishes, so he might go do that himself.  

Now, what is interesting to consider is that a number like 10,000 in this scenario was a very large number but we must admit , we probably know pretty well, they were keeping track of the blocks in the Great Pyramid, and the Romans and Greeks, where also fond of counting. 

Now, the point is ,,, money ,, or currency ,, 

as symbols of exchange, were not hugely widely spread,, and only probably became a thing in generally urban centers where for some reason it is necessary or perhaps just pleasant to have ???

Clearly, I should mention, that when Saturday Matinees, cost $0.10 , then parents, might be willing or eager to scrape up $0.10 for a child, you know ?
