Money

From TinWiki.org

Money is a value in the form of, most usually, coins or paper bills, or as electronic numbers ("cashless" money). Some societies have used such things as shells as money, whereas in Western civilization it has been common to use precious metals. An actual gold coin, for example, has value in itself because it is gold, and not just because the gold has been minted into a coin shape. Some currencies use metal coins that are not made from precious metal, and whose value comes, not from the value of the metal itself, but, from that it is an official, minted coin; such currencies are called fiat currencies.
