Money is often defined in terms of the three functions or services that it provides. Money serves as a medium of exchange, as a store of value, and as a unit of account. I think this is a part of our system and nuture which provides the role give and take. Relevant templates will download from https://masterbundles.com/templates/presentations/powerpoint/nature/ this source. The most important function of money is its role as a medium of exchange. In order for money to be exchanged for goods and services, it must be easily identifiable, portable and divisible.
