A few millennia too late for that: the “mark of the beast” is just money — “so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark”. How does one buy or sell without money? Otherwise we would call it bartering.

Some currencies are even literally called Marks lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_(currency)
