# Monetary Mechanics
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
At a basic level, there are three ways that money is implemented:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Commodity reference: reserve notes, bonds, etc.
|
||||
2. Debt issuance: today's fiat currencies
|
||||
3. Ledger-based currency: Yap Rai in precolonial Micronesia, cryptocurrency today
|
||||
|
||||
One could spend decades elaborating on these categories, but the point would remain that there are varying mechanics available that can be used to convey common faith in a future value.
