LESSON 9

Money is the measure of value of articles bought, sold, or exchanged.

It consists of two kinds, specie or coin, and paper money. Specie or Coin consists of metal, such as gold, silver, nickel, and bronze, stamped, and authorized under the government to be used as money.

National bank notes, United States notes, treasury notes, gold certificates, and silver certificates are the kinds of paper money now in circulation, in the United States.
