of paper with a historic image on it, but

nothing to do with the physical value of
the money. Money derives its value by
being a medium of exchange, a unit of
measurement and a storehouse for
wealth. Money allows people to trade
goods and services indirectly,
understand the price of goods and
gives us a way to save for larger
purchases in the future.
