Modern Money

Modern money takes various forms and serves important economic functions. It includes currency like paper notes and coins issued by central banks, as well as non-physical forms like bank deposits and central bank reserves.

It facilitates transactions through features like durability, divisibility, and uniformity across units. Emerging digital technologies may further transform how money is created and exchanged in the future.
