Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value, the value that government choose to give them irrespective of the actual metal content. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of notes, which are really “promises to pay”. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Cheques, bankers’ cards and credit cards are being used increasingly and it is possible to imagine a world where “money” in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United states, many places - especially filling stations-will not accept cash at night for security reasons. 41.Coins of two hundred years ago were based on ________. a.face value b.the actual metal content c.numbers showing their value d.designs 42.Most modern coins are based on _______. a.numbers showing their value b.lettering c.designs d.the exact amount of metal contained in them 43.Most governments now issue paper money because _______. a.they don’t like coins b.it’s difficult for them to handle it c.they find it comfortable to handle it d.paper money is easy to make 44.Cheques, bankers’cards and credit cards are being used increasingly _______. a.for funb.for entertainment c.for no purposes d.for security reasons V.
