Document Summary

Money is generally accepted as a medium of exchange as well as a store of value and a unit of account. If there were no money, goods and services would have to be exchanged through barter. Difficulty with barter is that each transaction requires a double coincidence of wants. The double coincidence of wants is unnecessary when a medium of exchange is used. When the price level is stable, the purchasing power of a given sum of money is also stable. The system of joint responsibility keeps the conduct of monetary policy free from day-to- day political influence while ensuring that the government retains ultimate responsibility for monetary policy. The central bank accepts deposits from commercial banks and will sometimes transfer them to the account of another bank. The central bank provides the commercial banks with a means of settling debts to other banks.
