A medium of exchange between the people.
Right now we have money by fiat (which basically means that the government prints paper money and dictates its value).
We used to have money that was either real (where the money itself was intrinsically valuable like gold or silver) or backed by real (meaning the paper money represented a note for gold or silver and you could take the note to a bank to get your gold or silver).
Thanks to FDR, our country became much poorer over the long term than it otherwise could have been. The decision of the USA to go fiat will have resounding repercussions on the entire world economy. The first people we will piss off (that we must be afraid of) will be the Chinese.
