Commentary for Kiddushin 56:3
הניחא לרב ששת דאמר פירות עבדי חליפין אלא לר"נ דאמר פירות לא עבדי חליפין מאי איכא למימר
Now, on the original hypothesis, that coin can effect a barter, what is meant by HOW SO?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., why is an instance given which does not illustrate the use of money as barter?');"><sup>1</sup></span> - It means this: And produce too can effect a barter.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The Talmud now alludes to a dispute about whether produce (and animals) can be used to effect barter. R. Sheshet says it can, but R. Nahman says it may not. We should note that this is a new problem, not related to the previous one. How can R. Nahman even understand the mishnah which does seem to say that produce and animals and not just vessels can be used for barter.
