Currency can refer to either paper such as the US dollar, or to the coins and banknotes of a particular currency, which comprise the physical aspects of a nation's money supply. The other part of a nation's money supply consists of money deposited in banks, called deposit money, ownership of which can be transferred by means of cheques and other money transfers such as credit and debit cards. Deposit money and currency are money in the sense that both are acceptable as a means of exchange, but money need not necessarily be currency.
Historically, money in the form of currency has predominated. Historically gold or silver coins of intrinsic value commensurate with the monetary unit commodity money, have been the norm. Modern currency, as fiat money, is intrinsically worthless. One type of currency over another in commodity money systems has arisen, usually when a government designates through decrees, that only particular monetary units shall be accepted in payment for taxes.
