It might. Or, less might do. Or more. The perceived value would fluctuate with scarcity and plenty. Bumper crop of tomatoes, it’ll take more of them to exchange. People are sneaky that way, they have an innate ability to estimate fair value.
I’m not even out of my forties and can remember the “Rolling Grocery,” a converted box truck that came through the rural areas near my grandparent’s farm. Call in an order, Mr. Wall would bring what you need. He’d also trade if you had something he could sell. He started out in the Great Depression and survived due to barter. He got enough cash to keep the truck on the road and to pay expenses. The other items fed him and his family.
A very good expamle of what I am talking about. I can see that happening, but only in ‘Red’ areas in ‘Blue’ ones he would be flashed mobbed and killed for his tomatoes.
