Monetary System
Currency, Foreign Exchange and Central Bank
For many hundreds of years, means of payment have been used for the exchange of goods. Initially, shells, silver or gold were offered as payment. Today money still fulfils the same purpose, but its form and complexity have changed profoundly. Original soundtrack Prof. Dr. Timo Wollmershäuser, ifo Institute: “The most important function of money is that of a means of payment. Money usually consists of banknotes, coins or maybe money in our bank accounts. Basically, we use money every day to buy things. It’s our means of payment, so we can purchase goods and services in a supermarket or in stores with it.” With money, a distinction is made between money in the bank, the so-called credit money, or cash. Cash is still very popular with people. Original soundtrack Dr. Jens Weidmann, President of the German Central Bank: “It is a simple and safe means of payment, and many people appreciate it because they don’t need technology for it and they don’t have to disclose any personal information.” There are over 160 cash currencies around the world. The currency zone defines the area of validity of the respective coins and notes. Original soundtrack Prof. Dr. Timo Wollmershäuser, ifo Institute: “This is regulated, for instance, with the Bundesbank Act in Germany. It includes a section according to which the euro is the legal tender in Germany. I think there is a similar regulation in every country of the world. They all have laws determining what currency, what means of payment has to be accepted by shops for purchases.”
