      knowledge, being defined as a justified true belief, cannot be what you have about my state of having read that book. you have no justification for any belief about it because you haven’t read it. further you certainly can’t know that I haven’t unless that were true.

        Well if you read it you failed to understand it, because it clearly discusses barter systems relating to debt, not currency.

                Go to school.

                How you’ve deluded yourself into thinking bartering and money are the same thing is beyond me.

                If I pay off my debt to a friend with a bottle of whiskey, is whiskey now money?

                No, it’s called bartering, and it’s an entirely different concept.
