Answer:

The ease of exchanging it for the desired goods

Step-by-step explanation:

With bartering you have to carry ALL items you want to trade that long distance, not even knowing if you want it or not, but with currency you can carry something much more lightweight.

Also, currency is more available than some things people barter.

I hope I wasn't too late!
