This episode made zero sense. They already had a sudo money system, they had a guy chop up animals to "make" change. So all they did was going from a horrible animal abuse system to a metal based system.
The inflation point made sense, but the point would be the same if one year more chickens where born than the last, as now chickens would go down in value.
I know we like to point fingers and laugh at the system, but to be fair it's the best one we got and it has saved billions of lives. A barter system stops being functional at a point. If to many items are on the marked, the distances is to great or to many people are in the systems. Imaging having to barter every time you had to fill your car up, or live in a communist country were you have no say it what you do with your life.
As this was the "joke" of the episode it felt a bit empty and boring. The actors are still good and the animation is okay, but really not a great episode.
