as a general medium of exchange, credit currency needs two conditions: one is people's confidence in this currency; The second is the legislative guarantee of currency issuance. Both are indispensable. At present, credit currency can be divided into the following forms: 1. Its function is to act as a medium for small or sporadic transactions, mostly made of base metals. ② Cash or paper money. Its main function is also to serve as a means of purchasing people's daily necessities. Generally, it is paper money with circulation means, and its issuing right is exclusive to the government or financial institutions. ② Bank deposits. Also known as debt currency, depositors can deliver their deposits to others as the medium of commodity exchange with the help of cheques or other payment instructions.

Promissory note in commodity credit transaction, when a capitalist purchases a certain commodity, he does not need to pay cash, but only needs to issue a debt certificate to the other party to pay the debt on a regular basis. When e, the holder can ask the drawer for cash according to the face value. A promissory note that is not yet e is signed by the creditor on the back of the note to indicate that it bears the debt. The holder can also use it as a means of purchase or payment to purchase goods or repay the debt

However, e to the abandonment of the gold standard and the cessation of the exchange of bank notes for gold, capitalist countries generally issue dishonoured banknotes as a means of circulation. Unlike banknotes, banknotes are not prepared with commercial paper and gold, and can not be exchanged for gold. In fact, they can no longer be called credit currency. It was issued by government decree. In order to make up the fiscal deficit, the government issues paper money indiscriminately, which often leads to inflation With the development of capitalist banking business, cheques play the role of currency in circulation and become the main form of payment of debts instead of currency and transfer settlement between depositors. Before the Second World War, bank checks had become the main credit currency According to statistics, in 1937, the proportion of demand deposits based on which cheques were issued in the money supply was 81% in the United States, 73% in the United Kingdom, 61% in Japan and 41% in France. After the Second World War, bank checks are still the main means of circulation in capitalist countries, accounting for about 90% of the money supply in some countriesit is an important means of payment not only in wholesale trade, but also in retail trade. Since the 1960s, in order to strengthen the competitive position and pursue high profits, banks have tried every means to improve their banking business, and the scope of credit currency has been expanded

generally speaking, from the perspective of credit money creation, the central bank needs to take the initiative to supply base money to achieve monetary policy regulation.
