                          Types of Money 
        Money is anything generally accepted in exchange for goods and services.  Throughout 
        history, money has taken many different forms. Most early money systems were based 
        upon a good, or commodity, that held value. The U.S. used to 
        use a commodity money system. At one point, the dollar used 
        to be worth 24.75 grains of gold. 
        Commodity money is money that would have value even if it 
        were not being used as money. It is often based on a valuable commodity, such as gold 
        or silver. In 1871, countries began linking their currency to the Gold Standard. The 
        United States stopped the conversion from dollars into gold almost 100 years later. 
        What’s really interesting about commodity money is that since the commodity itself has 
        value, it can be used as other mediums of exchange. Some countries use both fiat 
        money and commodity money, but fiat money is used in many countries throughout the 
        world.  
                        Most of the countries using paper money, such as the 
                        United States, is fiat money. In the U.S., the paper money 
                        is also a legal tender. This means that the government 
                        says it is legal for people to use it to pay for items.  
                        Fiat money is a currency that a 
                        government declares is the legal 
                        form of money in the country. The 
                        country also secures the currency. 
        However, it has no real value other than the government’s 
        backing and the trust people place in it. Fiat money is widely 
        accepted as a form of payment and there is a common 
        agreement to use that currency. Most countries today use a fiat 
        money system. 
        China was the first country known to use fiat money more than a 
                    thousand years ago.  
            A picture of China’s first fiat is located at the right.
