- Money acts as medium of exchange as it facilitates exchange through a common medium i.e. currency.
- With money as a medium, the two components of a transaction namely, sale and purchase can be easily separated.
- In other words, money eliminates the need for double coincidence of wants for an exchange to take place and can be performed independently of each other.
- Moreover, money has widened the domain and scope of market.
- Today, market is no more limited to a specific geographical location. This can be verified by the increasing popularity of online transactions.
- Hence, it can be concluded that money has infused commercialisation, which has raised the overall level of economic activities and has made production market oriented.
