Definition

• Any material that by agreement serves as a common medium of exchange and measure of value in trade.

  The oldest spelling appears to be mone, and in this form the word occurs in the Chronicle of R. Brunne, circa 1330. The Anglo-Saxon laws of Aethelstan, circa 900, mention the term mynet, in the sense of money, or payment in general.
