Document Summary

A means of payment is a method of settling a debt. A medium of exchange is any object that is generally accepted in exchange for goods and services. Without a medium of exchange, goods and services must be exchanged directly for other goods and services bartering. A medium of exchange overcomes the need for a double coincidence of wants which rarely occurs. Money isn"t the only medium of exchange, you can buy with a credit card. A unit of account is an agreed measure for stating the prices of goods and services.
