The easiest way is to use existing items described by a URI.

So you could say

A Transfer of

100
dbpedia.org/resource/Potato

Anything in wikipedia can be modeled a a currency.

If you want to get really bespoke you can create your own URIS such as
'farming tractor hours' ... but probably only the 2 of you would use
it.

Web Credits deals with IOUs / debts / accounting.  More complex
workflows either can use the commerce specs or can be modeled based on
demand for the use case.

All of this stuff can be modeled, but it's a question of which common
problems do we want to spend the time to tackle first.
