Governments control the scarcity of money by limiting the quantity of money in circulation.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><em>Durability:<\/em> Any item used as money must be durable.

Large or bulky items, such as boulders or heavy gold bars, cannot be transported easily from place to place.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><em>Divisibility:<\/em> Money must be capable of being divided into smaller parts.

Thus, societies develop a uniform money system to measure the value of goods and services. For money to be acceptable, it must function as a medium of exchange, as a standard of value, and as a store of value.<\/p>\r\nAs a <em>medium of exchange,<\/em> money makes transactions easier. Having a common form of payment is much less complicated than having a barter system, wherein goods and services are exchanged for other goods and services. Money allows the exchange of products to be a simple process.\r\n<p id=\"fs-idm388721600\">Money also serves as a <em>standard of value.<\/em> With a form of money whose value is accepted by all, goods and services can be priced in standard units. This makes it easy to measure the value of products and allows transactions to be recorded in consistent terms.<\/p>\r\nAs a <em>store of value,<\/em> money is used to hold wealth. It retains its value over time, although it may lose some of its purchasing power due to inflation. Individuals may choose to keep their money for future use rather than exchange it today for other types of products or assets.\r\n<table summary=\"\"><caption>Exhibit 15.1 Source: Bureau of Engraving and Printing, \u201cResources,\u201d https:\/\/www.moneyfactory.gov, accessed September 7, 2017.<\/caption>\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Fun Facts about U.S. Currency<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Did you know . . .\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Currency paper is composed of 25% linen and 75% cotton.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>About 4,000 double folds (first forward and then backwards) are required before a note will tear.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>As of mid-July 2017, there was more than $1.56 trillion in U.S. currency in circulation, with $40 billion in coins.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>95% of the notes printed each year are used to replace notes already in circulation.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The largest note ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing was the $100,000 Gold Certificate, Series 1934.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>During fiscal year 2017, it cost approximately 5.4 cents per note to produce nearly 40 billion U.S. paper currency notes.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A stack of currency one mile high would contain over 14 million notes.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>If you had 10 billion $1 notes and spent one every second of every day, it would require 317 years for you to go broke.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"fs-idm337902192\" class=\"bc-section section\">\r\n<h3>The U.S. Money Supply<\/h3>\r\n<p id=\"fs-idm389981280\">The U.S. money supply is composed of currency, demand deposits, and time deposits. <strong>Currency<\/strong> is cash held in the form of coins and paper money.

For money to be a suitable means of exchange, it should be scarce, durable, portable, and divisible. Money functions as a medium of exchange, a standard of value, and a store of value. The U.S. money supply consists of currency (coins and paper money), demand deposits (checking accounts), and time deposits (interest-bearing deposits that cannot be withdrawn on demand).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"textbox shaded\">\n<h3>Glossary<\/h3>\n<dl id=\"fs-idm387720448\">\n<dt>currency<\/dt>\n<dd id=\"fs-idm386204448\">Cash held in the form of coins and paper money.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<dl id=\"fs-idm388608416\">\n<dt>demand deposits<\/dt>\n<dd id=\"fs-idm369883728\">Money kept in checking accounts that can be withdrawn by depositors on demand.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<dl id=\"fs-idm388550128\">\n<dt>M1<\/dt>\n<dd>The total amount of readily available money in the system; includes currency and demand deposits.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<dl id=\"fs-idm387737296\">\n<dt>M2<\/dt>\n<dd id=\"fs-idm369119312\">A term used by economists to describe the U.S. monetary supply.
