  Medium of exchange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A medium of exchange is an intermediary used in trade to avoid the inconveniences of a pure barter system.
To serve as a medium of exchange, a good or signal need not have any inherent value of its own, that is, it need not be effective as a store of value in itself.
Thus the medium of exchange function has become wholly a part of the marketplace and its signals, and is utterly integrated with the unit of account function, so that, given the integrity of the public key system on which these are based, they become to that degree inseparable.

 EXCHANGE part 1
An exchange of his tractor, for which he had no comprehension at his age, of how wonderful it really was, for a $5 bill, which could be exchanged for bubble gum, ice cream, or whatever, appealed to a 6 year old.
The medium of exchange, or money, needed to have a value, and not only value, but a calibrated value, so different amounts of the medium could be used to store values of different amounts.
Not only that, but the medium of exchange needed to be compact, as the medium needed to be carried around to "buy" things, or "exchange" the money for items which were desired or needed for a civilized life style to continue.

 XVII. INDIRECT EXCHANGE: The Determination of the Purchasing Power of Money
Thus the demand for a medium of exchange is the composite of two partial demands: the demand displayed by the intention to use it in consumption and production and that displayed by the intention to use it as a medium of exchange.
The value in exchange (purchasing power) of a medium of exchange is the resultant of the cumulative effect of both partial demands.
Second, that the exchange value of a good which has not yet been demanded for service as a medium of exchange is determined solely by a demand on the part of people eager to use it for industrial purposes, i.e., either for consumption or for production.

 Economic Manuscripts: Medium of Exchange
The real exchange of commodities, that is the social metabolic process, constitutes a transformation in which the dual nature of the commodity -- commodity as use-value and as exchange-value -- manifests itself; but the transformation of the commodity itself is, at the same time, epitomised in certain forms of money.
But the quantity of gold for which the commodity is exchanged in the process of circulation is in both cases determined not by means of exchange, but the exchange is determined by the price of the commodity, by its exchange-value calculated in terms of gold.
emerges thus as a mere medium of exchange of commodities, not however as a medium of exchange in general, but a medium of exchange adapted to the process of circulation, i.e., a medium of circulation.

 SSRN-Medium-Term Exchange Rate Forecasting: What Can We Expect? by Guy Meredith
The medium-term predictability of exchange rate movements is examined using three models of fundamentals: purchasing power parity, the monetary model, and uncovered interest parity.
While the first two approaches yield favorable in-sample results, these largely reflect finite-sample estimation biases, Adjusting for these biases, there is little evidence of predictability, consistent with the lack of systematic improvement in out-of-sample forecasting performance relative to a random walk.
While more elaborate models of fundamentals might have better medium-term forecasting properties, careful attention must be paid to finite-sample biases in assessing predictability.

 Money as medium of exchange
The confusion to which I refer is the focus on money as a "thing in itself" rather than as a "medium of exchange".
In the latter metaphor, I contend, economic agents can more easily see their roles in the complex system by which we sustain ourselves, while in the former, the love of money can lead these same agents to do silly (as a quick run through the TV dial attests) or even counter productive things.
Defining paper money in their terms, payable on demand, kept that definition in the minds of the financiers by giving the savers of the community the ability to check their lending, or if too many forgot, forced them all to "return to the drawing board", poorer but wiser for the experience.
