Line 1: |
| 1. ''Currencies - gold standard - fiat currencies.''
| | Waybills are transport documents used in international trade that evidence shipment, but are not documents of title to the underlying goods. |
| | |
| In relation to currencies, Hard money meant that the currency was based on a fixed amount of a valuable physical asset, for example gold or silver.
| |
| | |
| Gold was the most commonly referenced asset latterly, known as the Gold standard.
| |
| | |
| Most countries abandoned the gold standard for their currencies during the 20th century.
| |
| | |
| Fiat currencies are the - almost universal - alternative to hard money.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 2. ''Funding - reliability or directness.''
| |
| | |
| Sources of funding that are either:
| |
| | |
| *Considered more reliable;
| |
| *More strongly linked with a particular purpose; or
| |
| *Both.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 3. ''Lending and borrowing - collateral.''
| |
| | |
| Hard money loans are ones secured against a physical asset, often a residential property.
