法定貨幣

維基百科，自由的百科全書

跳轉到: 導覽、 搜尋

 本文介紹的是由政府頒令為合法通貨的貨幣。

• 關於1935年至1948年間，由中華民國國民政府發行的法定貨幣，詳見「法幣」。
• 關於在香港稱為「法定貨幣」的一種有償債的法律地位的貨幣，詳見「法償貨幣」。

法定貨幣（英語：Fiat Money）是指不代表實質商品或貨物，發行者亦沒有將貨幣兌現為實物的義務，只依靠政府的法令使其成為合法通貨的貨幣。法定貨幣的價值來自擁有者相信貨幣將來能維持其購買力，但貨幣本身並無內在價值（Intrinsic value）。

部分發行法定貨幣的國家或銀行，會將其法定貨幣與一種或數種外幣掛鉤，並以政府外匯儲備維持其匯價在一定的水平。亦有法定貨幣是沒有任何錨，其價值是自由浮動，倚靠發行者控制發行量來維持。

在歷史上，政府強制規定紙鈔以及非稀有金屬（如銅、鎳等材質）的硬幣為法定貨幣之前，大多數流通的貨幣也具有一定的內在價值，例如金幣、銀兩，此種貨幣稱為商品貨幣（Commodity Money）。

但丁神曲再進化；第一次修訂

各位同學，很高興又在此和大家分享新口訣。今天的口訣靈感來源為下午托福課時來的四位美麗的女同學都提出了非常高深的問題。像是manor 和 chateau 的差別，mediaeval 和 Mediterranean 的混淆，Greece 及 Rome 的關係，renaissance 和 William Shakespeare 及 Leonardo da Vinci 的出現等等…..

但最讓我驚訝的是，當Judy同學突然提到但丁的神曲。連博學多聞的Jason老師也都嚇了八跳啊＠＠” !

還好，幸好Jason老師也不是省油的燈！馬上定了定神，深呼吸一口氣後，慢慢的說道自己其實在很久以前就對但丁做了一點小小的研究（此時還在強顏鎮定中@@” ）

因此，Jason再次將這遠古時期塵封已久的資料再次挖出來並與大家集思廣益創造出一個非常害得口訣。這個口訣就叫做：但丁臉書口訣。口訣拆解如下：
