The very book that lays out the tithing law speaks of usury.

Money was an integral part of their society.

In 4000 years of recorded history in the word of God there is not one mention that ties the tithe to money.

As a matter of fact the times that the tithe is allowed to be converted to money for ease of transport there is a 20% fee for doing so.

to add to that comment regarding ease of transport....they would exchange it again for livestock and grains when they reached their destination...then they would eat unto the Lord....
