Money!!

Money originated as [|commodity money], but nearly all contemporary money systems at the national level are [|fiat money] systems. Fiat money is without value as a physical commodity, and derives its value by being declared by a government to be [|legal tender]; that is, it must be accepted as a form of payment within the national boundaries of the country, for "all debts, public and private". By law, the refusal of a legal tender (offering) extinguishes the debt in the same way acceptance does. Some [|bullion coins] such as the [|Australian Gold Nugget] and [|American Eagle] are legal tender, however, they trade based on the [|market price] of the metal content as a [|commodity], rather than their legal tender [|face value] (which is usually only a small fraction of their bullion value). The [|money supply] of a country is usually held to consist of [|currency] (banknotes and coins) and [|demand deposits] or 'bank money' (the balance held in [|checking accounts] and [|savings accounts]). These [|demand deposits] usually account for a much larger part of the money supply than currency. [|Bank money] is intangible and exists only in the form of various bank records. Despite being intangible, bank money still performs the basic functions of money, as checks are generally accepted as a form of payment and as a means of transferring ownership of deposit money.[|[10]]
 * Money** is anything that is generally accepted as [|payment] for [|goods and services] and repayment of [|debts]. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a [|medium of exchange], a [|unit of account], a [|store of value], and occasionally, a [|standard of deferred payment]. Money is an [|abstraction], [|idea] or [|concept], [|token instances] of which are the physical [|bills] or [|coins] which are carried and traded.
