Money is a human construct that rise up from exchange of goods and services in society.
*There are 3 function of true money...
1. Medium of exchange
When money is used to intermediate the exchange of goods and services, it is performing a function as a medium of exchange.
2. Store of value
Money must be able to be reliably saved, stored, and retrieve. The value of the money must also remain stable over time.
3. Unit of account
You can easy count in that. Money acts as a standard measure.It is necessary for developing efficient accounting systems.

*Why this order? Murray N. Rothbard in his book "What has government done to our money?" put on first place "Medium of exchange" function, same Mises in The Theory of Money and Credit
. I agree and it is most intuitive. Important is that "Unit of account" function is implication from first two functions.
Created and also reworked in February 2021. Update when I feel it needs a change.
