Was Medieval Wales a Cashless Society?

There's a theory that Early Medieval Wales was a cashless economy. That they paid in kind, in goods, services, food, agricultural produce, and that after the fall of the Roman Empire, they had no use for coins any more.

But is it true? Did my ancestors really give up on money and go back to a barter system? Thankfully we have some clues from history and archaeology that can help us answer this one pretty clearly! Join me as we dive into the economy of Medieval Wales! A thing I never thought I'd be doing YouTube videos on!
