In economics, one of the four functions of money is to serve as a "standard of deferred payment". It means that a contract or agreement may specify (or imply) that the repayment of a debt be made using a particular monetary unit. It differs from other functions of money in that it is not functioning as an immediate medium of exchange or store of value but, rather, as a medium by which future payments will be made.
