There are many stages of the evolution of money. The earliest and primitive stage is the Barter system.
Barter system:
Barter system is exchanging goods for goods without the use of money in the primitive stage. People exchanged services and goods for other services and goods in return. The value of bartering items can be negotiated with the other party. Bartering doesn’t involve money which is one of the advantages.

Hence Barter system had many deficiencies like,
1. Lack of double coincidence of wants - The phrase 'double coincidence of wants' means that what one person wants to buy is exactly what the other person wants to sell. In the barter system, this is not fulfiled.
2. Common measure of value - The value of goods exchanged cannot be of equal value always.
3. Indivisibility of commodities - The commodities exchanged may not be divided or traded equally.
4. Difficulties of storing wealth.
