# Monetary Mechanics
![Monetary Mechanics](../../raw/branch/master/img/MonetaryMechanics.jpeg)
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.
