Why is money more unique than any other commodity.

[Axis]

Money appears to be more unique than any other commodity that is being used for exchange because of it below characteristics or features

Money is generally accepted globally but in terms of other commodities it is not generally accepted.

Money appears to be durable and can last long for a number of time but most of all the communities that have been used for exchange do not last long for a number of time.

Everywhere in the world money can be easily recognised but unlike other exchangeable commodities it cannot be easily recognised

The homogeneous nature of money has made it unique whereas other commodities are not homogeneous

Money is portable and can be taken any way in any form that appears to be portable but other commodities are not

Money serves as a measure of values but in the case of goods or commodities that are being used as trade and barter it is not a measure of value

You can use money to purchase other commodities even in large quantity but it won't be easy currently to use other communities in purchasing a different kind of commodity or products

Money can be scarce relatably but other commodities are not.

Money can be termed as a store of value. You can store money in a bank where are other communities can't be stored in a bank

 

[Ithedicious]

Money must definitely be unique because the government has given orders that a particular currency of one's country when seen by a person should be used in exchange for goods and services and must be accepted by a merchant too in exchange for goods and services..

When the government of a particular country create currencies , it is automatically expected that every citizen of that countries must know and understand about the existence of that currency and use it to carry out transactions conveniently.

Apart from that there are so many other functions of money and other reasons why money could be so unique than other mode of carrying out transaction. Money is never a volatile asset like cryptocurrency which is definitely something more volatile and because of this accepting cryptocurrency for payment of goods on daily may be dangerous to business since the price of cryptocurrency do not stay in one place.

 

[Carpon]

Money has to be unique even because of the fact that it is the acceptable means of exchange. If we go back in time to the period when money whether paper, coin or any thing that was and is still used as a means of exchange was not yet in use, the means of exchange was trade by barter.

In trading by barter, you exchange your goods and possessions directly with another person who is in need of it just as you are in need of his own commodity. There were so many problems encountered because a good that literally has more value is exchanged with another one that has lesser vaue.

So money is now unique because of how it quantifies the value of a commodity. Money is what you use now for purchase and transactions and that makes it unique. It is not a good: but can be used to secure goods. This is my little take on this.
