See: How jellyfish became a universal exchange currency. Short story: You can't legally sell exotic / zoo animals for profit. So zoos just trade animals along with a relatively stable, small, and easy to upkeep animals like a particular jellyfish, in exchange for other animals.
The need to exchange things is almost universal. Even something as simple as our time, for whatever purpose. We will need very extreme circumstances for there to be no need to exchange a thing. If, for example, literally no one needed anyone for anything else... that would be a very depressing civilization. But would not need trading, and thus, currency.
