What is fiat money? Fiat money is money that the government tells you
to use as money although it has little if any intrinsic value. Fiat money, from a modern perspective, mainly
consists of non-redeemable paper notes and
coins with a metal content that’s worth less than the face value of the coins. From a historic perspective, fiat
