 As crazy as it sounds, I bet sheep would be a harder money than the fiat currencies, primarily because while you can make more sheep, it takes time to make them, it takes resources to make them, etc. where these dollars can just be created at a keystroke on a computer somewhere. Sheep would at least solve the money quantity problem, but fungibility would definitely be of concern. So sheep would not actually be a good money in that sense.
