What if you were using a stack of Haitian gourde? Or a stack of Manx pound notes? I believe you would describe both as currencies.
Guess which of us will come back with more of the stuff on the list?
In fact, take a look at Wikipedia's list of currencies, and tell me which you would and wouldn't prefer over bitcoin at the mall.[1]
edit: #3 does not specify who must "officially issue" it. As far as I can see, I could "officially issue" a money.

I wouldn't come back with any of the stuff, because those things are not "money" in the United States. They are convertible to legal tender money at a bank, but they are not money, any more than a used car is money just because you can sell it for cash. If you cannot use it to obtain the general necessities of daily life in an easy fashion, it is not "money", by any useful definition of that term.
