Prices of Money
- Interest Rate (future) — price of money now in terms of price of money later
- Part (now) — price of one money in terms of another money (e.g. between states, between private and central bank)
- Exchange Rate (foreign) — price of domestic money in terms of foreign/world money
- Price level (commodities) — price of money in terms of price level of commodities
