The first type is fiat money. This form of money is backed by the government's order and regulation, rather than by any physical commodity.

The type of money used in a society largely depends on its economic and political system. Different countries may adopt different types of money based on their specific needs and circumstances.

The third type is fiduciary money. It represents a claim on some underlying asset, such as gold or silver held by a bank, and functions as money based on the trustworthiness of the issuer.
