Currency

Currency is the economic term given to the money or coins and banknotes used for trade in goods, products or services. In the past, coins made from precious metals such as gold, silver or copper have been used. These coins had value if you melted them down and sold the mineral. The minerals used to mint some coins today may be of less value than the denomination (face value) of the coin.

When a government declares a currency to be legal tender, the currency is called fiat money
