I doubt they were actual currency, but I can imagine they were
bartered.

George Washington Carver really saved agriculture in the southeast by
introducing crop rotation and his peanut farming and many discoveries for
using peanuts certainly made peanuts a cash crop.

It's a commodity, so there's definitely money in peanuts, in that sense.
