Money has five major functions, which are as follows:
1. Value scale refers to the use of money as a social scale to measure the value of goods. The reason why money has the function of value scale is that money itself has value, Therefore, we can use our own value to measure the value of other commodities
2. Circulation means
refers to the function of money as the medium of exchange between different commodities, that is, the purchase means. The main feature of this function is that it can make the transfer of goods and money complete at the same time in commodity trading
Storage means refers to the function that money withdraws from circulation and is preserved as the general representative of social wealth. The function of storage means of money can spontaneously regulate the total amount of money in circulation The function of means of payment was born with the emergence of commodity credit trading. In commodity credit trading, money can be used to pay the debts in the trading, and then it is developed to pay government rent, interest, tax, wages and so on World currency refers to the function of currency acting as a general equivalent in the world market beyond the domestic circulation field. The functions of precious metals as world currency are as follows: as a general means of payment, they are used to pay the balance of international payments; as a general means of purchase, they are used to buy foreign goods, act as the absolute embodiment of wealth, and transfer from one country to another(1) based on computer technology, it can store, pay and circulate
(2) it can be widely used in the fields of proction, exchange, distribution and consumption
(3) it integrates multiple functions such as financial savings, credit and non cash settlement
(4) e-money is easy to use, safe, fast and reliable
(5) at present, the use of e-money usually uses bank cards (magnetic cards, smart cards) as the media
currency function
e-money is a quasi currency that can be paid
whether e-money can be called currency depends on whether e-money can independently perform currency function. Electronic currency can play the role of payment and settlement, but it is only a quasi currency that may perform monetary functions. First of all, e-money lacks the price standard of money, so it can't measure and express the value and price of goods alone, and it can't have the means of value preservation. Instead, it can only rely on the function of value measurement and value storage of real money; Secondly, because electronic money is based on certain electronic devices - smart cards and computers, its circulation and use must have certain technical facilities and software support
therefore, the function of circulation means can not be really carried out; Finally, although the most basic function of e-money is to implement the means of payment, most of the existing e-money can not be used for direct payment between indivials. Moreover, when paying to a special merchant, the merchant has to collect the real money from the bank or credit card company that issued the e-money before the payment is recovered, E-money can not perform the function of payment means independently. It can be seen that the current electronic currency is a new currency form or payment method based on the existing currency.
