I'm giving examples to show how varied and weird the monetary landscape was back then.

To to what you say, it's true "because of silver's properties people were generally using that for value transfer "
But it's such an insane oversimplification to then extrapolate One Money from the incredibly rich and incredibly varied experience of actual people, who are generally interacting with local reputation-based systems, rather than the exchange medium being used for global settlement.
