Are pebbles divisible as a form of money.

The biggest problem with pebbles from the beach is scarcity. You could carry pebbles (though carrying many of them would be a problem) and they will not wear out. They are pretty small, so they could be used to buy most things. They will not rot or otherwise disappear. The problem is that pebbles are way too common to use for money. If anyone can go off to a beach or other such place and dig up a lot of a substance, it is not very useful as money.
