Agree. The following are the qualities of good money:
i. General acceptability: Good money is the one which is readily accepted by all without any reluctance. This quality is possessed by gold and silver.
ii. Divisibility: Any commodity acts as good money if it can be divided into small units. For example, currency notes, gold, silver and coins possess the quality of divisibility as they can be divided into different denominations.
iii. Durability: It should possess the quality of durability. That is, it should be long-lasting. As currency coins are made up of metal, these are more durable compared to currency notes.
