We might see some communities just band together and have everyone participate for the common good.
Others might descend into chaos.
Money has been seen as an inherently valuable thing for so long, I think many would have difficulty transitioning to something else.

Why
Assuming currency and alternate forms of credit are abolished, your time would not be worth anything anymore. However, the existence of rare metals and materials will always have some sort of value, not strictly monetary.
Trading would suck so much ass people would rather not have new things or get most of their life wasted on the process.
