Summary
![Page 46: 1 Chapter 24 Money and the Federal Reserve System Key Concepts Key Concepts Summary Summary Practice Quiz Internet Exercises Internet Exercises ©2002 South-Western](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c7b5503460f9492e72e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Money can be anything that meets these three tests. Money must serve as (1) a medium of exchange, (2) a unit of account, and (3) a store of value. Money facilitates more efficient exchange than barter. Other desirable properties of money include scarcity, portability, divisibility, and uniformity.
![Page 47: 1 Chapter 24 Money and the Federal Reserve System Key Concepts Key Concepts Summary Summary Practice Quiz Internet Exercises Internet Exercises ©2002 South-Western](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c7b5503460f9492e72e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Medium of exchange is the most important function of money. This means that money is widely accepted in payment for goods and services.
![Page 48: 1 Chapter 24 Money and the Federal Reserve System Key Concepts Key Concepts Summary Summary Practice Quiz Internet Exercises Internet Exercises ©2002 South-Western](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c7b5503460f9492e72e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Unit of account is another important function of money. Money is used to measure relative values by serving as a common yardstick for valuing goods and services.
![Page 49: 1 Chapter 24 Money and the Federal Reserve System Key Concepts Key Concepts Summary Summary Practice Quiz Internet Exercises Internet Exercises ©2002 South-Western](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c7b5503460f9492e72e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Store of value is the property of money to hold its value over time. Money is said to be highly liquid, which means it is readily usable in exchange.
![Page 50: 1 Chapter 24 Money and the Federal Reserve System Key Concepts Key Concepts Summary Summary Practice Quiz Internet Exercises Internet Exercises ©2002 South-Western](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c7b5503460f9492e72e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
Credit cards are not money. Credit cards represent a short-term loan and therefore fail as a store of value.
![Page 51: 1 Chapter 24 Money and the Federal Reserve System Key Concepts Key Concepts Summary Summary Practice Quiz Internet Exercises Internet Exercises ©2002 South-Western](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c7b5503460f9492e72e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
Commodity money is money that has a marketable value, such as gold and silver. Today, the U.S. uses fiat money, which must be accepted by law, but is not convertible into gold, silver, or any commodity.
![Page 52: 1 Chapter 24 Money and the Federal Reserve System Key Concepts Key Concepts Summary Summary Practice Quiz Internet Exercises Internet Exercises ©2002 South-Western](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110205/56649c7b5503460f9492e72e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
