Answer:

The answer is No.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, rocks would not be an acceptable choice as a medium of exchange for currency. Currency needs to be widely accepted, durable, divisible, portable, and have intrinsic value. Rocks do not meet these criteria and lack the characteristics required for an effective medium of exchange.
