Money

Money is the coins or banknotes that people use when pay for goods and services. It measures the value of things.

Coins and paper money were invented in China. People had used shell, cattle, lamb skins as primitive forms of money before it.

The word money comes from the name of the Roman goddess Moneta in whose temple silver coins were made. At that time money was a ring or an ornament, or a piece of gold and silver. Later cheaper metals were used for making coins instead of gold and silver. At present coins are made of different alloys.

Economists say that money has three functions. It serves as a medium of exchange, a standard of value and a store of wealth.

As a medium of exchange, money is used in trade. People sell products for money. Then they buy other products they need.

As a standard of value money shows the worth of the things. The price of a thing is the amount of money that people pay when they want to buy it.

As a store of wealth, money is kept in banks. People can receive interest on their investments in banks.

Many countries have gold stock. A country’s money is based on gold standard. Gold standard prevents the value of money from changing.

Highly developed countries base their national money on the decimal system. The American dollar is divided into 100 cents. The British pound sterling has 100 pence. The Russian rouble comprises 100 kopecks. The euro contains 100 cents.

The euro, the single European currency, appeared in clearing in the countries of the European Union on January 1, 1999. On January 1, 2001 it was introduced in cash. Russia uses both the dollar and the euro in its international trade transactions.

Notes:

gold standard – золотое обеспечение;

gold stock – золотой запас;

clearing – безналичные расчеты между банками.

Монеты, банкноты, измеряют стоимость, средство обмена, мера стоимости, средство накопления, богиня, вместо золота и серебра, сплавы, получать процентный доход от капиталовложений, золотой запас, золотое обеспечение, десятичная система, единая европейская валюта.

British Money

In the United Kingdom money is made in the Royal Mint. It is a British government department responsible for producing the official money of the country. The Royal Mint produces both paper money and coins.

In the Mint the metals come in the form of slabs. The right proportion of each metal is made for the sort of coin. The metals are put into large graphite pots and melted in furnaces for two hours.

Then the metal is poured into moulds which have the shape of bars and left to cool. The bars of metal go through heavy rollers and become thin metal strips. The strips go into a machine which stamps out circles in them. The circles drop into a box. The waste metal is collected and remelted.

After that the circles are annealed: they are heated to red-hot and then dropped into cold water. During the process of annealing the copper takes some oxygen from the air. As a result a thin layer of copper oxide appears on the surface of the circle. This layer is removed with a weak solution of sulphuric acid.

The hot circles are stamped. They pass through a special pressing machine which raises a rim of the coin. The rim will help the coin to live longer. In stamping the soft circle of the future coin it is pressed above and below by two pieces of metal called dies. The upper die stamps the heads of the coin and the lower die stamps the tails. The coin becomes hard again.

When coins are ready they are counted on an automatic machine, inspected by hand. Then they are recounted and bugged up by a machine, tied up, weighed and sent to the bank.

The old British monetary system was very complicated. One pound had 20 shillings (s). One shilling had 12 pennies (d).

The modern British monetary system is decimal. The pound is the biggest unit. One pound (₤) has 100 pence. The coins are one penny, two pence, five pence, ten pence, twenty pence and fifty pence. The banknotes are one pound, five pounds, ten pounds, twenty pounds and fifty pounds.

The British have not joined the Eurozone. They only use the euro in clearing with foreign banks.

Notes:

bar – брусок;

roller – вал, каток;

anneal – обжигать, прокаливать, закалять;

die – штамп, матрица, чекан;

heads – лицевая сторона монеты, орел;

tails – обратная сторона монеты, решка;

clearing – безналичные расчеты между банками.

Russian Money

The history of Russian money began more than 1000 years ago. The first Russian coins appeared when Russia was converted to Christianity. The gold and silver pieces were first made under Grand Duke Vladimir Svyatoslavovich (late 10^th - early 11^th century). Then there was a long "coinless" period. Minting was resumed in the 1380s, under Grand Duke Dmitry Donskoy of Muscovy.

The Russian monetary system was founded in the early 16^th century. It laid the foundations of national accounting and the present-day ruble. In the 16^th century the chief currency unit was the silver kopeck. It depicted a horseman with a lance, which was Russia's emblem and the symbol of grand-ducal power. After the 1535-1538 reform of Yelena Glinskaya, a single monetary system was formed for the centralized Russian State. The ruble contained 100 kopecks.

In the 17^th century Peter the Great brought into circulation various denominations: one-ruble, fifty-kopeck, quarter, ten kopeck, and other coins. Gold and copper pieces were produced in addition to the traditional silver coins. Coins were minted by machines.

In the 18^th century banknotes were introduced in circulation by Tsarina Catherine II. In the 19^thcentury the reform of Finance Minister Count Kankrin (1839-1843) was the first step towards turning paper money into money backed by precious metal reserves. The silver ruble was recognized as the principal monetary unit.

In 1892 Sergei Witte became finance minister. He did much to strengthen the ruble. At that time Russian paper banknotes were backed by gold reserves worth 1.5 billion rubles. The Russian financial system was founded on the basis of scientifically computed paper money emission rates. Thanks to Witte's reform, Russia integrated into the global financial system. The ruble became convertible.

The post-revolutionary period was characterized by great hyperinflation. The gold reserves in the country were rebuilt thanks to the New Economic Policy. The chervonets was the new unit equivalent to 10 pre-revolutionary rubles. It was in circulation until 1928. Afterwards, the government resumed its practice of high imission rates, and inflation returned. The Soviet ruble became an exclusively domestic legal tender.

During the first period of perestroika the inflation rates were very high. At present the Russian government is taking steps to stabilize the Russian currency.

Notes:

Legal tender - законное платежное средство.

Banking

Banking is the business activity of banks or similar institutions.

Banks sell financial services such as car loans, home mortgage loans, business loans, checking accounts, and credit card services.

Some people keep their money in the bank. Others borrow money, if they want to buy cars, houses or start businesses. Banks are intermediaries for those who save and those who borrow.

People’s savings form a pool of money. This money belongs to the depositors. The bank uses the money to make loans.

The owners of the bank are the shareholders. At the beginning they provide the necessary capital. All banks are organized on the joint stock principle and are registered public companies.

The bank is managed by the Board of Directors headed by the Chairman. The Board of Directors and the Chairman are elected by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The Board exercises general leadership and determines the overall policy of the bank. The Board appoints a Managing Director who is a member of the Board and is responsible to it. The Managing Director appoints the senior executives who in turn appoint the staff.

There are commercial banks, saving banks, saving and loan associations, cooperative banks, and credit unions.

Commercial banks mostly serve business customers and support trade and industry.

Saving banks, saving and loan associations, cooperative banks, and credit unions are thrift institutions or thrifts. They usually serve individual customers.

Though there are differences between banks and thrifts, they often offer the same services to their customers (car loans, commercial loans, etc.)
