Good MONEY must be: durable, portable, uniform, limited in supply, divisible, fungible and acceptable.

 

None of the things you listed, other than gold, meet all the criteria.

Durable: It would eventually break - definitely less durable than paper bills.

 

Uniform: all the orange pieces would have to be exactly the same size at various levels.

 

limited in supply: what if I plant a bunch of orange trees? I would be minting money in my backyard. Massive inflation!

 

fungible: every dried orange piece would have to be interchangeable with another

 

The reason gold works is because it meets these qualities better than anything else.

Even the yearly output is in line with typical economic growth so inflation would be less of an issue.
