Does currency assume death?

Seems to me like most currency assumes death in some form, directly or indirectly

Money is printed - requires the death of a tree
Food is necessary for survival, requires death of animal or plant
Shelter is built from life, wood, death

I am trying to think of forms of currency that doesn’t require death. perhaps a sexual currency

This monkey will give you a pretty rock for sex… although I guess I ate to make my splooge. That orgasm came from death… and arguably the pretty rock

Maybe that doesn’t work so well

Digital currencies perhaps? Trading abstractions for other abstractions might work… but when it doesn’t boil down to something real… I don’t think “my abstraction is a higher number (number serves purpose of abstraction) than your abstraction” will work well… Trading beauty perhaps. qualitative

I’m at a loss

This monkey, where have you encountered it? How did you know rock = rape the money?

Honestly dude, what do you do to a cat if it gives you a dead mouse?
