money, in essence, is the contract of exchange right between owners. Different forms of money are unified in essence. In the past, e to people's unclear understanding of the nature of money, people mistakenly divided money into different categories from different angles, such as debt currency and non debt currency according to the commodity value of money, convertible currency and non convertible currency according to whether the exchange ratio of precious metals is agreed, etc
formally, according to the commodity value of money, it can be divided into physical money and formal money. Physical money itself is a special kind of goods, including the amount of value, such as sheep, precious metals, etc; The formal currency itself has no value, its value is contractual, only contractual value. The two forms are different, but they are unified in essence, that is, they are both agreed as the medium of exchange, and both have contractual value. The purchasing power of money depends on the contract value of money, but the purchasing power of physical money is also affected by its own commodity value. Generally, the commodity value of physical money is less than its contract value as money
