What is meant when it is stated that money performs the functions of a store of value?

When money is described as a store of value, it means that it can retain its purchasing power over time, allowing individuals to save and hold wealth without it devaluing significantly. This function enables people to defer consumption until a later date, making it possible to use money for future transactions. A reliable store of value is essential for economic stability, as it encourages saving and investment. However, inflation or economic instability can undermine this function, leading to a loss of confidence in money's ability to preserve value.


When economists say that money is a store of value does it mean that money can be used to measure the value of other commodities?

Money has three functions, being a: 1) store of value; 2) unit of account; 3) medium of exchange. The first, a store of value, implies that money maintains and stores its value over time - unlike many other mediums of exchange, which can depreciate. Money is intended to be storeable, retrievable, and reuseable as a medium of exchange itself. Therefore, being a store of value does not mean that money can be used to measure the value of other commodities - that is its third function, medium of exchange.
