Time deposit
To sum up, credit money is a medium of exchange where its value as monetary instrument is greater than its value as commodity. Therefore, the acceptability of credit money depends on the credit standing of its issuer(s).
It is noted that an attempt is made to confer acceptability of money by law. Legal Tender is the term used to describe money which has the legal power to settle debts, and refusal to accept is illegal.
