The function of measurement values:
To carry out the sale, barter firstly it is necessary to determine the value of goods. At first, the value of a commodity is determined through a different commodity. Gradually currency was born and became the common measurement tool used to determine the value of all other commodities. Since then the currency will be used to measure the value of goods.
In the market economy, people familiar comparing the value of goods and services with common measurement units as currency. To market a chicken people ask how much money?

Therefore it is necessary to have value measurement units.

In contrast, the currency after consuming one can balance the long-term saving and when should be able to meet their immediate needs. Therefore everyone has noticed specific amount of liquidity that is easily mobilized in payments.
The use as means of payment:
