Currency vs. Money
Currencies are symbolic tools we use to manage currents. They can function in a number of independent capacities: as a unit of measure, store of value, token of status and a medium of exchange, etc.
Monetary currency or money is a common way of bundling currency capacities to create a medium of exchange for a commercial economy. It is a small portion of the full spectrum of possible currency designs.
