6. MODERN FORMS OF MONEY
We have seen that money is something that
can act as a medium of exchange in
transactions . before the introduction of
coins, a variety of objects was used as
money.
Modern forms of money include:
1)Currency
2)Deposits from banks
9. DEPOSITS WITH BANKS
The other form in which people hold money is as deposits
with banks. At a point of time , people need only some
currency for their day-to-day work needs. For instance,
workers who receive their salaries at the end of each month
have extra cash at the beginning of the month. Then to save
money people deposit money into the bank. Banks accept the
deposit and also pay an amount as an intrest on the deposits.
In this way people money is safe with the banks and it earns
an amount as intrest.
10. LOAN ACTIVITIES OF
BANKS
• There is an interesting mechanism at work here .banks
keep only a small proportion of their deposits as cash
with themselves.
• For example, banks in india these days hold about 15%
of their deposits as cash .
• This is kept as provision to pay the depositors who
might come to withdraw money from the bank on any
given day. Since, on any particular day, only some of its
many depositors come to withdraw the cash , the banks
is able to manage with this cash.

SITUATION
A large number of transaction in our day-to-day
activities involves credit in some form or the other.
Credit(loan) refers to an agreement in which the
lender supplies the borrower with money , goods or
service in return for the promise of future payment .

12. TERMS OF CREDIT
• Every loan agreement specifies an intrest rate which the
borrower must pay to the lender along with the repayment
of the principal. In addition , lenders may demand
collateral against loans.
• Collateral is an asset that the borrower owns and uses
this as a guarantee to the lender until the loan is repaid .
• If the borrower fails to repay the loan , the lender has the
right to sell the asset or collateral to obtain payment.
Property such as land titles, deposits with banks, livestock
are some common example of collateral used for
borrowing.
13. Money supply
In economics, money is a broad term that refers to
any financial instrument that can fulfill the functions of money
(detailed above). These financial instruments together are
collectively referred to as the money supply of an economy. In
other words, the money supply is the amount of financial
instruments within a specific economy available for
purchasing goods or services. Since the money supply
consists of various financial instruments (usually currency,
demand deposits and various other types of deposits), the
amount of money in an economy is measured by adding
together these financial instruments creating a monetary
aggregate.
