Money, What is it?

Money, what is it?
Money is any object or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a particular country or socio-economic context.[1][2][3] The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value; and, occasionally in the past, a standard of deferred payment.[4][5] Any kind of object or verifiable record that fulfills these functions can be considered money.

Money is historically an emergent market phenomenon establishing a commodity money, but nearly all contemporary money systems are based on fiat money.[4] Fiat money, like any check or note of debt, is without intrinsic use value as a physical commodity. It derives its value by being declared by a government to be legal tender; that is, it must be accepted as a form of payment within the boundaries of the country, for "all debts, public and private".[citation needed] Such laws in practice cause fiat money to acquire the value of any of the goods and services that it may be traded for within the nation that issues it.

The money supply of a country consists of currency (banknotes and coins) and usually includes bank money (the balance held in checking accounts and savings accounts). Bank money, which consists only of records (mostly computerized in modern banking), forms by far the largest part of broad money in developed countries

The Best Way to Buy Silver

The best way to buy silver for investment and to conserve assets is actually by buying silver rounds. With the value of silver on the rise, this is a very wise thing to look at.


Mint coins are probably the most expensive way to buy silver. There is a premium or mark up over the spot price of silver and it can take some time to make up this additional cost. In terms of a return on investment it is not very fruitful.

Bars are better, especially the larger bars, where the premium is substantially less. If you are interested in silver purely as an investment, then certificates or exchange traded funds are another way to go. The cost of purchase and redeeming the silver is less and are a better proposition in terms of investment as you do not have to take delivery, store and on sell the silver yourself. It is all done through paperwork essentially.

Tips on Buying Silver

Let´s see some tips on Buying Silver

There are many different types of silver available so some tips on buying silver can be very useful.

Let us look at the various types of silver available.

Silver Etfs (Exchange Traded Funds)

Silver etfs are a popular way to buy silver. With a silver etf, the apparency is that one is buying silver. However one is not actually buying silver here but only buying units, the value of which are based upon the daily movement of the silver futures price and it is not possible to redeem that silver and take delivery. One can only 'cash in' one's units and receive the value in currency. There is even some question as to how much of silver etf is actually backed by silver. If, for example, the etf went belly up and it was found that the amount of silver used to back the etf was less than the units in the investors accounts, how would that affect the value of those units?

Investing in silver etfs is not actually investing in silver any more than investing in the stock or shares of silver mining companies.

Of course when one invests in silver mining companies one is really investing, not in silver, but the company itself. This can include any other mining activities the company is undertaking as well as the management a strategy, the ability of the management team to make wise decisions and so forth. So that is not actually investing in silver either.

Silver Coins
Investing in silver coins is the first type of silver investment there is. Here one can get pure silver coins to own. Such coins as American Silver Eagles or Canadian Silver Maple Leafs have always been very popular and considered safe coins to own. The main disadvantage with them is the high premium it takes to buy them. You can pay anywhere up to an extra fifty percent of the silver value to buy silver coins. Then there is the shipping, insurance and storage costs to consider. All these add to the costs of buying silver coins. Silver rounds are a better choice here.

Silver Rounds

Silver rounds are like silver coins except they are not legal tender. Where as an American Silver Eagle is legal tender with a face value of one dollar (far less than the silver content I might add), a silver round is simply a coin shaped piece of silver with a value equal to the silver content. One of the advantages of silver rounds over silver coins is the reduced cost of manufacture and so smaller premium for the investor. Again, one still has shipping, insurance and storage costs to take into consideration when looking at the overall cost of purchase.

Junk Silver
Junk silver coins, or early US silver legal tender coins are another good way of accumulating silver. Actually junk silver coins is not the proper name for them. Basically they are old silver coins that have no numismatic value but are valued for the silver content. They are legal tender in the country they are, or were, used, such as the US, Canada and Australia for example. The word junk really refers to their collectible value, not the silver value. You can buy them by the bag and usually consist of early dimes, quarters and half dollars. You can also buy junk silver coins by the roll. Many silver dealers sell them.

Scrap Silver
Scrap silver is another way of accumulating silver. Here you can often get silver at cost price. You do need to know a bit about silver and what price you should pay for scrap. Old broken jewelery is a good source. Sometimes old silver coins can turn up as scrap silver. In this case always check if the coin has any collector value because if it does, it can be a lot higher than the silver content. It pays to do some research into the area if you intend collecting or accumulating scrap silver.

Silver Bullion Bars

Silver bullion bars are a cheaper way of buying silver. The bars come in a range of sizes but are easier to manage financially than, say, gold bars, due to the lesser cost of silver by the ounce than gold. You can buy silver in one and fifteen kilo bars and the premium is much less than with the silver coins or silver rounds. Again one still has to take into consideration the shipping costs, which can be significant with the increased weight of bullion bars compared to coins or rounds. Also, again there is insurance and storage to consider.

A Smart Way to Buy Silver
A real smart way of investing in silver that obviates a lot of the premium and saves on shipping costs, insurance and storage is by using a system whereby the silver is purchased on your behalf and stored in a bank vault for you. There is, of course some premium and a storage fee but it is much less and one does not have the problem of maintaining security of the storage.

Gold Money is one such system and one can buy virtually any quantity of silver from just a gram or two up to as many ounces or grams as you want. This is ideal for an investor as one can then embark on a regular savings plan but with the ability to vary ones regular savings according to ones ability to save. One can also buy gold this way.

The silver is stored in a bank vault in either London or Zurich and fully insured. It is audited by an independent third party on a regular basis to ensure that the silver or gold in the vaults exactly matches the record of silver or gold in the clients accounts.

With the lower purchase and maintenance fees and less hassle handling and looking after ones silver, Gold Money is an ideal way to accumulate a silver nest egg and when it comes to tips on buying silver, this must surely take the biscuit.

5 Ways to Get Money Without Working

5 Ways to Get Money Without Working:

1- Win the lottery.
This is one of the least work-intensive ways of making money, but you're much more likely to lose money (from buying the ticket) than win a big prize. Be careful not to get addicted to buying tickets — always expect to lose the money you spend on lottery tickets. You could also try your hand at betting ar the race tracks.

2- Become a moneylender. Now that there are large economic incentives and new technology, more people are becoming successful lenders. Loaning someone else money at a high rate of interest gets returns on what would otherwise just be sitting in their bank account.

3- Host a successful website. Figure out a way to make money off your website. If you find a cheap or free way to host a website, then you can do this without spending a lot, thus increasing your income.

4- Look for rare coins in your pocket change. Obtain very large quantities of coins at your local bank if necessary. Sell them on sites such as eBay (or your online store). Look around your house or on the streets for change. Even if they're not "rare," you'd be surprised with how much money you can save just by picking up loose coins on the street!

5- Start playing poker professionally. Poker requires a lot of skill, as well as luck, but if you master it, you can make a relatively large sum of money.

Success Versus Money

Like it or not, most often success is judged in terms of a person's bank balance. In a consumer-driven economy, a penchant for selling—ideas, concepts or products—goes a long way in earning money, as well as in being materially successful. "If you don't want to sell what you produce," asks Lester, "why would you produce it?"

Which is why, today, even spiritual leaders and healers need to advertise their unique capabilities because the most successful are those who reach out to a wide variety of people. After all, how would a person sitting in Timbuktoo know where to go for something as esoteric as rudraksha therapy, if not through advertisements?

MoneyDespite consumerism, it would be a mistake to read success as a synonym for money. Although the two often go hand in hand, money itself cannot make you a success, and vice-versa. Take A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former chief of India's Defence Research and Development Organization. A simple man who came from a not-so-well-to-do family, nobody can deny that he is a success. Yet, who is interested in how much money he makes? What makes him a success is his intellect and achievements.

What about the sages who left all to seek something much more intangible? Were they any less of a success? Would the Buddha have been more successful had he stayed with his palace and wealth?

Money rarely defines a person's worth in the real sense of the term. In an ideal world, money would change hands ethically and the money that you earn would be directly proportionate to your capability. In the real world, money is often a result of lineage, contacts, unethical shortcuts or exploitation, so that the respect it should demand in ideal circumstances eludes it.

Making Money Online – Three things that have worked for me at hubpages

Making Money Online – Three things that have worked for me at hubpages: "There is much discussion about making money online and the internet is chock-a-block full of “guaranteed returns,” and “amazing opportunities,” to make money easily. I laugh at some of the ridiculous claims made. I am not going to make any such claims – in fact – It is hard work making money online. I have chosen hubpages as one of the income streams I currently enjoy, and as I am unlikely to ever get this page found in the search engines, thanks to the promotional efforts of the numerous spammers, scammers and occasional honest Joes, targeting 'making money online,' I will stick to discussing making money here on hubpages and talk about how I make the most of the various affiliates offered here, in the hope it will be of some use to the community. I will not discuss Kontera - I personally think it is a scam and a waste of time."
