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.
