Symbolic money

World money may be divided into the symbolic money and natural money. Natural money was used before when the goods circulation was only developing. And the most spread example of such money was the gold.

And money that doesn't have the individual value or it doesn't correspond to the face is symbolic money. Usually it is the credit cards.

Such money is considered to be the bank notes, coins made of cheap metals (for example on the base of aluminium), electronic money including the bank account, checks, circulating notes, stocks, capital issues.

Nowadays the main form of money is the non-cash money and electronic money and bank notes in particular. With the spread of plastic credit cards bank notes became less used. The reason for it is simple. First of all even if someone stoles your credit card it is difficult to cash it, as the burglar will need your credit card code. Secondly instead of carrying the package of money you have only one plastic card that doesn't rumple and tear. It is easy to use it as all shops and malls are ready to take such non-cash money. Thanks to it you may also buy goods with the help of internet. As bank notes substituted golden money on the certain period of human development, as they were much more comfortable, so is the electronic money that substitutes bank notes being more comfortable. But on the other hand, imagine if the system is ruined, then people could loose everything they have.

Such money is more comfortable to use as it is light and can be substituted by other bank notes or electronic money.
