It's kinda weird to think that at a time when there are huge shortages of basically everything it makes sense to use shipping space on something whose value is purely symbolic.
I do get that they're shipping plenty of other things and the cash is probably a pretty small piece of the total space, but still it's worth thinking about.
If there's too little cash, people will start hoarding and the economy will quite literally grind to a halt as people are reluctant to part with money.
Going back to bartering is a great way to induce a depression.
Bartering often comes after a depression already exists. When liquidity drops to zero, people will develop their own money. Bottles of Tide, gasoline, cigarettes, etc.
