The Three
Uses of Money
Though we may "define" money in our own unique ways,
there are economists who would define money
differently.
They do so according to money's three uses.
Economists define money as anything that serves as a
medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of
value

Money as a Medium of Exchange
A Medium of Exchange is
anything that is used to
determine value during the
exchange of goods and
services.

Money as a Medium of ExchangeHow did people exchange goods or services prior
to the invention of money???This Photo by Unknown author is licensed under CC BY.

Money as a Medium of Exchange
Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in
the direct exchange of one set of goods or services for another.
This was known as a barter system.
Barter is a verb, referring to the exchange itself
Ex- my brother Joseph REALLY wanted my 4Ocean hydroflask, but I was not
willing to part with it. He bartered with me, offering me an Adidas jacket
that was too big for him to keep. Needless to say, I happily accepted the
trade.
![Page 10: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What are the
inherent problems
with bartering??
![Page 11: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Money as a Medium of Exchange
The issue with bartering boils down to value. What one person finds valuable, another may not.
Or perhaps, both parties may indeed find the items, goods, or services in question to BE of value, but with VERY different ideas as to how much.
How can one quantify personal value on something that another may not?
Ex- what if the aforementioned hydroflask was of great, personal value to me, perhaps given to me by a long-distant friend or visiting foreign relative? Then Joseph would have had to come up with something of considerable value, perhaps
more than the jacket was worth in my eyes (and maybe not even then would I have traded with him).

Mini-Life Lesson From Zarbalas That No
One Asked For
For those of you who are seeking careers in sales, marketing, advertising
(which is really just marketing, isn't it?), business in general, or really any
career path that involves having to leverage, understand that value as we just
discussed, is crucial.
A sales representative (for example) has to BUILD value in their product or
service.
If they do this successfully, and help you to understand why their product or
service is worth YOUR time and money, then the transaction is successful.
If they cannot, then no value is built, you have no desire to purchase what it is
that they're selling, and everyone is frustrated that they wasted their time.
Food for thought...
![Page 13: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Money as a Unit of Account
"In addition to serving as a medium of exchange,
money serves as a Unit of Account.
That is, money provides a means for comparing the
values of goods and services."
Ex- comparing the price of a shirt across multiple stores
where it is sold. Money gives this shirt its worth, as
expressed by the cost at these stores.

of money around the
world??

Money as a Store of Value
Money serves as a Store of Value in that it keeps its value if you decide to
hold onto it, rather than spending it.
When you save money, it retains its value (inflation/deflation aside). $5 will
always be $5.
When an economy experiences inflation or a general increase in prices, then
money still retains its value, but that value may not add up to as much in
terms of what it is able to purchase.
Ex- before inflation, $5 may be able to purchase a combo meal at a fast food
restaurant. But after inflation, that same $5 may not be able to afford the whole
combo, which is now $7, as prices have gone up.

The Six Characteristics of Money
![Page 18: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Six
Characteristics
of Money
Many objects have been used throughout history as a form of currency, including
Cattle
Fish
Furs
Precious stones
Porpoise teeth
Rice
Sea shells
Tulip bulbs
And Olive oil
However, there are characteristics today that define what counts as currency, and what does not. Many, or likely all of the above, would not count as currency according to these characteristics.
![Page 19: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Six Characteristics of Money
Durability
Objects used as currency must withstand the
test of time, and be relatively invulnerable to
wear and tear.
Though delicious when used correctly, olive
oil does not last nearly as long as a coin would,
or even a paper bill.
![Page 20: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Six Characteristics of Money
Portability
How portable is the potential currency in
question?
How easy is it to take with you?
Have you ever tried taking cattle around with
you with the intent to exchange it for another
good or service? You get my point...
![Page 21: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Six Characteristics of Money
Divisibility
Money must be able to be easily divided into separate, smaller
denominations.
This is why we have larger and smaller bills, and coins in the United
States
Back in Colonial times, Americans would cut Spanish dollars into as
many as eight pieces, called "pieces of eight" (Pirates of the
Caribbean 3 reference?)
Today, we can "break" a twenty or larger bill into two $10 bills or
four $5 bills, without having to tear the $20 in half or in quarters
(respectively)
![Page 22: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Six Characteristics of Money
Uniformity
Every piece of currency with equal value must be the same
That is, every $5 must be the same, otherwise there would be a
discrepency in value.
Back in the day, if one was trading (or bartering, see how I
brought it back?) using dried fish as their currency, then one dried
fish might be small and thus gets you an apple in exchange for it,
whereas a larger dried fish one may purchase you a chicken tender
pub sub. See the problem? Currency must be uniform.
![Page 23: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Six Characteristics of Money
Limited Supply
Money cannot come from some unlimited supply, there must
instead be a quantified store of it circulating through an economy.
If your island trades in rare pebbles that are only found on a
particular beach on the island, but then someone discovers a
whole horde of those same pebbles located in a mine, then they
lose their value, as now anyone can get their hands on the not-so-
rare pebbles.
To regulate the supply of money, economies ought to have
governing bodies or agencies to preside over this. In the United
States, we have the ______________ ___________ to do this. We'll
learn more about them later.
![Page 24: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Six Characteristics of Money
Acceptability
This is perhaps the simplest of the characteristics, but money
must be acceptable.
If you go somewhere and attempt to purchase lunch with your
vintage holographic Pokémon cards from the late 90's, the
cashier may give you a funny look before asking you to leave.
People, businesses, services MUST find your
currency acceptable, otherwise it is virtually worthless (except
to you of course... those Pokémon cards are PRICELESS...)

Sources of Money's Value
Money must fit all of the characteristics we just described.
However, they must also be valuable. But what makes money
valuable? The answer depends on whether money is commodity,
representative, or fiat.
![Page 26: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Sources of Money's Value
Commodity Money
A commodity is an object
Thus, Commodity Money consists of objects that have
value in and of themselves and that are also used as money.
Ex- in days of yore (and in some cases today), folks would
trade in cattle. Cattle is the commodity here.
With that all being said, does Commodity Money fit the
characteristics that we just discussed? Is it therefore proper
money?
![Page 27: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Sources of Money's Value
Representative Money
Representative Money makes use of objects that have value solely because the owner can exchange
them for something else of value.
Ex- your brother borrows $20 from you, and gives you an IOU note for $20 that he'll pay you back.
In actuality, that scrap of paper holds no value
Yet, the promise that he'll pay you back your $20, THAT is what makes it valuable
Early forms of this were bills of credit, or ownership receipts for things owned by the receipt-holder such as gold, silver, or even land.
What would you guess the main issue was/is with Representative Money?
![Page 28: Chapter 10somcanyons.enschool.org/ourpages/auto/2019/8/8... · Money as a Medium of Exchange Prior to the invention of money or a formalized currency, people engaged in the direct](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f02ce7f7e708231d4061aea/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Sources of Money's
Value
Fiat Money
Quite simply, Fiat Money refers to how
legit your currency is. A fiat is an order or
decree. So when you examine a piece of
money, note the legal tender inscribed on
it- that's the fiat.
