CURRENCY AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
Currency is the legal tender used in an economy for the purpose of transactions. It includes physical forms such as coins and banknotes issued by a government or central bank. Currency is essential for facilitating trade, enabling people to purchase goods and services and settle debts. It is a tangible representation of money in everyday use. Currency used to convey money, but from the 1970s, nations moved away from currency that convey money to Fiat Currency. Contemporary currencies may be fiat or crypto currencies.
Characteristics of Currency
- Durability: Currency must withstand physical wear and tear from frequent handling. Coins and banknotes are made from materials designed to be long-lasting.
- Portability: Currency needs to be easily transportable. Its lightweight nature allows individuals to carry and use it conveniently for daily transactions.
- Divisibility: Effective currency can be divided into smaller units to allow for precise transactions of varying amounts. This characteristic supports flexible pricing and exchange.
- Uniformity: Each unit of currency must be identical to others of the same denomination to ensure consistency and trust in its value.
- Limited Supply: To maintain its value, the supply of currency is controlled and regulated. Excessive issuance can lead to inflation, diminishing its purchasing power.
- Acceptability: Currency must be widely accepted within an economy. Government backing and regulation typically ensure this universal acceptability.
Money and Its Characteristics
Money represents the value within a transaction. It is a broader concept than currency and includes any item or verifiable record generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts. Money serves as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value, and a standard of deferred payment.
Characteristics of Money
- Medium of Exchange: Money facilitates transactions by eliminating the inefficiencies of barter systems. It is universally accepted in exchange for goods and services.
- Unit of Account: Money provides a consistent measure for valuing goods and services. It allows for the standardization of prices and comparison of value across different items.
- Store of Value: Money retains value over time, allowing individuals to save and retrieve wealth. To be effective, money must maintain its purchasing power.
- Standard of Deferred Payment: Money is accepted for future payments, enabling borrowing and lending activities. It provides a reliable method for settling debts.
- Liquidity: Money is the most liquid asset, meaning it can be easily converted into other goods and services without losing value.
- Fungibility: Each unit of money is interchangeable with another of the same denomination, ensuring consistency in transactions.
Central URA and Its Characteristics
Central URA is money that can be used as a complementary currency or reserve currency to address the shortcomings of traditional fiat currencies and foster economic stability. It operates within a credit-to-credit system, where currency issuance is backed by equal credit, ensuring tangible value for each unit of currency. Central URA can be used alongside traditional currency and can also serve as a reserve asset.
Characteristics of Central URA
- Asset-Backed: Unlike fiat currency, Central URA is backed by tangible assets and receivables, providing intrinsic value and reducing the risk of inflation and economic instability.
- Stability: By tying currency issuance to actual economic output and assets, Central URA promotes economic stability and confidence in the financial system.
- Non-Inflationary: The controlled issuance of Central URA, aligned with real economic activities, mitigates the risk of hyperinflation that often plagues fiat systems.
- Global Acceptability: Designed to function alongside traditional currencies, Central URA aims for broad acceptance across different economies, facilitating international trade and investment.
- Government Integration: Central URA works within the existing governmental frameworks, ensuring compliance and seamless integration into national economies.
- Promotion of Economic Growth: By focusing on credit-to-credit transactions, Central URA encourages productive investments and real economic growth rather than speculative activities.
- Reserve Capability: Central URA can also be used as a reserve asset, enhancing the stability and security of national financial systems.
Central URA is Money
Central URA is money because it embodies the essential characteristics that define money: it is a medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value, and a standard of deferred payment.
