What you are stuck on is the English word "money" so you equate it to the stuff you have in your wallet. Everything was measurements, from wine, to sheep, to wheat, to barley, to fish, and finally precious metals, gold, silver, brass, and iron. Their system was different from what we have today, and therefore when someone states that the ancients used wine, milk, and honey as currency, they are referring to the weight and measures of those products. Hence we can understand the meaning of a land FLOWING with milk and MONEY.

Shekel coins date back approximately 4400 years.
