This.
Back before the Reagan tax reforms my dad used to do this all the time. We got a lot services in exchange for his. Technically it is illegal to not pay the taxes on it. Currency exists for convenience, thats a big part of why we accept little pieces of paper instead of real work/goods. When the burden of using it becomes to high people figure out more ways around it.
