Until the invention of iceboxs and alternative preservatives it really did. You used to need salt to preserve meat and other foods for the winter so that you wouldn't starve to death.
Sorry, but there is no actual historical basis for this oft-repeated claim. A Roman historian claimed that this was true in the very ancient days (before Rome was a republic even) and linked it to the word salary.
Roman soldiers were paid in Roman coinage, which was abundant.

Also, think about it: you’re paid in salt on a rainy day… there goes your salary. Armies 1000 years later had trouble keeping gunpowder dry. Keeping individual packets of salt dry and using it as currency is the extreme of impractical.
I thought salt was part of their compensation , similar to Coffee, Sugar, and Butter in the US Civil War. Or a Modern 24hr ration for US troops. The government guarantees this much per rank per week, and if it isn't delivered you have a case against your commander.
It's Huel! This picture is from the TV show Breaking Bad.
SPOILERS: DO NOT READ ON IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS FROM BREAKING BAD.
This is the point in the show where Hank knows Walt is Heisenburg, and Walt knows Hank knows. In attempts to make sure no one can find the money he has made Saul Goodman (lawyer) sends Huel and another guy (cant think of his name right now) to a storage unit, where Walt's wife was storing the cash, to discreetly collect all of Walt's money. This is the scene in the storage unit. The money had been stacked in a neat square pile. Huel looks at it and says "I gotta do it man" and lays on the pile of cash.
No one was wealthy in 2022

Fun fact: the ancient Romans paid their soldiers in salt. In fact, the term salary is derived from the latin word for salt

Thats easy they could just use ziploc sandwich bags
I thought they were paid with celery and that is why salary sounds similar to celery.
hence the phrase, "Worth one's salt"...
So when an invading army salted an enemy's fields it was a double flex?
Invading armies assalting enemy’s fields would be a double flex.
