Money & Banking | Three Functions of Money


List and describe the three functions of money.

Possible Answer: Money serves three functions: a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of account. Money serves the medium of exchange function by eliminating the need for a barter system. In the form of currency, money can be used for future purchases and allows people to “store value.” Money is a unit of account, allowing people to measure the relative value of goods and services.
