A cheque is a fiat money. (State whether the statement is TRUE or FALSE) |
| Answer» FIAT MONEY is a currency without intrinsic value that has been established as money, often by government regulation. Fiat money does not have use value, and has value only because a government maintains its value, or because parties engaging in exchange agree on its value.[1] It was introduced as an alternative to COMMODITY money and representative money. Commodity money is created from a good, often a precious metal such as gold or silver, which has uses other than as a medium of exchange (such a good is called a commodity). Representative money is similar to fiat money, but it represents a claim on a commodity (which can be REDEEMED to a greater or lesser extent). | |
