Abstract
This paper defines E-money as spendable balances represented by digits on a bank's balance sheet. The paper discusses that E-money can not become standard currency until the public understands the concept and feels comfortable in using the technology and until the emergence of cryptography, the ability to make the transactions secure and unbreakable. The author believes that financial markets will have to develop new internal regulations, banks will have to adjust their style of business and the federal government will have to rethink the status of its monetary policy to keep control of the monetary base.

From the Paper
"In the last thirty to forty years, major advances in payment systems and abilities have revolutionized the way most Americans and Europeans pay for goods and services. In the early 1950's, a new type of card emerged that enabled people to pay for goods and services without actually transferring any type of fiat currency or commodity, the Diners Club payment card. It was the first card that enabled individuals to pay for their lunch or dinner just by signing a piece of paper."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Financial Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) was formed by the G-7 nations as an intergovernmental task force to examine money laundering trends, techniques and past AML actions and to develop new, more effective measures for implementation into anti-money laundering (AML) systems. The author points out that, although Switzerland and the U.K. have developed intricate AML systems as describe in this paper, the U.S.'s enforcement oriented AML system is the international leader. The paper recommends that AML systems could be strengthened by investigating and prosecuting money laundering activity in connection with every criminal offense, which is often associated with money laundering, such as terrorism, corruption and tax evasion This paper includes tables and graphs.

From the Paper
"It is important to understand past trends in methods for money laundering in order to predict and prevent the development of future methods. This is gained through an in-depth understanding of the prevalence and evolution of money laundering methods and their current and emerging trends. The identification of trends ensures that money laundering methods are understood and that action is taken to comprehend other key factors involved, such as context. Through its typologies effort, the FATF emphasized the identification and description of money laundering trends both at the worldwide level and on a more systematic basis."

Electronic Money, 2008.

Abstract
The writer notes that in his enlightening article regarding electronic money, "Money in an Electronic World", Bernd Kempa argues that electronic funds are not likely to replace traditional money any time soon but that the role of the central bank in determining a country's monetary policy may be affected. The writer points out that the Kempa voices these concerns in closing his research in which he successfully illustrates the development of electronic funds and cash. The writer discusses that companies such as eBay and Amazon.com have turned the retail industry upside down and these two companies alone handle billions of dollars annually in electronic funds across international markets without ever handling physical currencies. Yet, the writer maintains that central banks will continue to determine monetary policy because the simple fact is that none of these new economy institutions or the electronic funds that accompany new business models creates money themselves. The writer concludes that they only move currency values that have been created via traditional channels.

Developments in Electronic Money
Conclusion
From the Paper
"These observations are, while not being indicative of an impending catastrophe, somewhat alarming for economists who might be concerned with monetary policy at the national level. However, by raising such alarms, the author does not adequately support why he believes electronic funds might hold the potential to undermine such national economic and monetary policy when, in fact, all electronic funds originate first with the issuance of funds through traditional channels. No company that regularly operates in the financial markets, private or otherwise, has the ability to generate funds, whether electronic or otherwise, in any manner that supersedes the role or the oversight of the central banking systems."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There is a common misconception among people that money means something or has value in our culture. In today's current economic environment and age of speed of light technologies that bring people closer together than ever before, it is difficult to imagine that money does not have any real value. It really depends on one's concept or definition of money. Right now in this day and age where the system is failing so many as the cost of living grows higher and the average wage stays the same, it is easy for one to become obsessed with the notion of money being valuable. A wise man once told me that money is a tool and how you chose to use will define your character. He also expanded this idea by elaborating money as a tool can make things happen, rather those things are good or bad is entirely put to the person handling the money. With this in mind, it is easy to see how wrapped up society has become in money and how it works. Now more than ever, money seems so fluid and intangible as it can take on many forms, not just paper but bursts of light over a telecommunications wire or the magnetic strip of a debt card. It is seems now more than ever as the relationship of supply and demand of money becomes twisted, people need a better understanding of how money came to be so important."

Abstract
This paper explains that Microsoft Money 2007's only competitor in this category of personal financial management software, Intuit's Quicken Premier, has many features offered in its latest version that differentiate it from its past versions; something that the programmers at Microsoft did not do. The author argues that Microsoft Money 2007 has many major bad qualities such as (1) the basic platform did not change dramatically from the previous version, (2) the user must log-in to Window's Live Mail, which presents a potential security problem, (3) another program will be needed to file the tax information generated on Money (4) it does not synchronize with any handheld devices, (5) the program can be painfully slow and (6) there are still glitches in the software. The paper suggests that the potential user download the trial version of this software and try it for his or herself.

Money Laundering, 2009.
An overview of the use of money laundering in the drug and gaming industries.
2,023 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 64.95
»

Abstract
The paper explains the process of money laundering and focuses on the drug trafficking and illegal gambling industries. The paper then explores the relationship between illegal drug trade and gambling and shows how casinos have been used as ways for drug traffickers to launder money. The paper points out the limitations in prosecutors' ability to prove one is engaged in money laundering as well as the Internet and technology that make it increasingly difficult to regulate financial transactions. The paper concludes that despite these limitations, the focus on money laundering remains one of the most effective ways to curtail both the drug trade and illegal gambling.
Outline:
What is money laundering?
Drug Money Laundering
Money Laundering: Illegal Gambling
Relationship between Illegal Drugs and Gambling
Changes in the Law
From the Paper
"The usual process of laundering drug money entails three basic steps. The first stage involves depositing the drug proceeds into clandestine domestic and foreign financial institutions that do not seem obviously illegal. Sometimes the profits are broken up into small amounts, usually less than $10,000 to avoid currency reporting requirements or through creating sham companies, casinos, wire transfer companies, or simply smuggling the currency out of the United States in suitcases or concealing the cash in some other manner (Zagaris & Ehlers 2003). In the case of a pseudoephedrine smuggling ring an airline employee was recruited at O'Hare airport in Chicago to help smuggle drug-derived cash outside of the United States, sometimes stuffing the bills in empty cereal boxes that were packed in a suitcase ("Cash Smuggling Case at O'Hare Airport," U.S. Drug Administration Press Release, 2004)."

International Money Laundering, 2006.
An analysis of the trends, patterns, and the globalization of international money laundering.
3,348 words (approx. 13.4 pages), 13 sources, MLA, $ 95.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how successful money laundering fuels the perpetration of crimes such as drug trafficking, organized crime, corruption, illicit sales/transportation of weapons, human trafficking, fraud and theft by providing criminals with near infinite ways to conceal their actions from law enforcement agencies and ultimately provide themselves with the rewards for their criminal behavior in the form of money and proceeds that appear to be legitimate. It then looks at how bulk currency is moved using black market exchange and how this money is invested into illegal activities. The paper contends that the combating of money laundering presupposes the existence of capacity and resources at the national level and that the rise and popularity of electronic banking and informal electronic value transfer systems require scrutiny and regulation to prevent abuse and exploitation by criminals and traffickers intent on amassing and legitimizing their illicit proceeds.
Outline:
The Sophistication of Money Laundering: Bulk Currency and the U.S. Financial System
Investment of Drug and Illicit Proceeds in Business
The Internationalization of Money Laundering
Intensified Involvement of Criminal Organizations in Money Laundering Activities
An Analysis or Recommendations
From the Paper
"The process of moving bulk currency from the United States and into Mexico, and Central or South America has been a long-standing operation much akin to the techniques used by traffickers to smuggle illicit narcotics or other contraband into the country. Smugglers and traffickers are limited only by the extent of their imaginations. Since 1996 - 1997, the Southwest border has become the focal point of drug trafficking into the United States. The majority of the cocaine in the United States is smuggled across the border with Mexico. This massive and very open stretch of land along the U.S. southern boundary provides many opportunities for criminals to smuggle cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana into the United States. "

"Honest Money" by Gary North, 2009.
The paper is a review of the book "Honest Money" by Gary North.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The author of this paper reviews the book by Gary North, "Honest Money" which deals with the relationship between money and the Bible. The paper's author examines the book's central idea that the value of money lies in its marketability. In other words, if money is unable to buy you goods and services, it is worthless. The author of the paper continues and discusses the idea proposed in the book that individuals must make and use money according to biblical guidelines in order to call their money honest and pure.
From the Paper
"Honest Money follows the theme of making and using money according to biblical guidelines in order to call your money honest and pure. The bible doesn't restrict anyone with regards to the form of money they use. There are restrictions on how money should be used. But there are no limitations on what constitutes money. For example anything can be used as money: silver money, gold money, platinum money, salt, wampum, but the most important thing is that the buyer and seller should be aware of the mode of exchange and should also agree to it. This is a very critical part. If the buyer or the seller is unaware, that would be considered unethical and dishonest and thus both parties must be made aware."

Money, 2002.
A discussion of the purpose money serves in today's economies.

Abstract
Discusses purposes money serves in today's economies. Critical task of governments and central banks in controlling the money supply. Money as the common medium of exchange; the tangible way to hold assets. Monetary policy. Growth of "virtual" money (cashless transactions). Example of CyberCoast, a fictional Northwest nation with a cashless system.
From the Paper
"Controlling the money supply of a nation is a critical task that falls most often to governments and central banks. If there is too much money in circulation, inflation results; too little money, and the economy contracts. The goal is to strike a balance so that there is enough money to stimulate the economy, but not so much that the economy overheats. In the United States, money supply is controlled through fiscal (tax) policy and monetary policy. The government controls the fiscal policy, while the monetary policy is controlled indirectly by the government through the central bank in most modern economies.
Money serves several different purposes in today's economies. First and foremost, it is the common medium of..."

Time Value of Money, 2005.
A discussion regarding time value of money, examining various investment opportunities.
1,020 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of time value of money (TVM), a principle showing that money can earn interest, and that money received in the present is worth more than money (of the same amount) received in the future. The paper further discusses how money can grow through various investment vehicles such as banks, mutual funds and the stock market.
From the Paper
"Compound interest happens when your money grows along with the interest amounts that it accumulates over time. In the above example, suppose that you invested $100 for 2 years at 5%. After 1 year, the total amount would be $100 + $5 (5% of $100) = $105. After 2 years, however, it will earn $105 + $5.25 (5% of $105) = $110.25. The $5 interest amount you gained after 1 year has earned an additional $0.25 after the second year (Garrison 2006). It has been said that compound interest is the greatest wonder of the universe, as it makes money grow larger and larger over time."

Money, 2004.
Analysis of Walrus's Law, which states that money is, by definition, an entity of usefulness, not of principle.
3,520 words (approx. 14.1 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 98.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines several theories regarding the definition of money. The paper looks at Walrus's Law, the relationship between the definition of money and the gold standard for money, Keynes's and Marx's definition of money, and the Islamic view of money.
From the Paper
"But clearly, there are economic relationships. As interesting as it is to think that the Walrasian auctioneer is always on the dais orchestrating ?trades,? in fact, there is disequilibrium, for short or longer periods, in economic relationships (perhaps the auctioneer needed a coffee break) so there must, then, be a place to park the value waiting to be offered back and forth between the sellers and buyers?.and one must not forget, too, the added attraction of the financiers backing the sellers and buyers. In short, thinking that there might ever come a time when money was not needed to make economic relationships possible is about as sensible as thinking that John Maynard Keynes or Milton Friedman?or Daffy Duck?knew all there was to know about money and economic relationships. In fact, because money is simply a tangible representation of intangibles--and some would go so far as to say it is a construct for spiritual realities so that we mere mortals may better understand it--it is reasonable to assume that anything written about it is necessarily open to interpretation and revision, including, of course, the current discussion."

Money Supply Determination and the Monetary Base, 2000.
A comprehensive look at money supply determination and the monetary base and definitions of M1, M2, and M3, which are all measures of the U.S. money stock.

From the Paper
"M1 includes currency ? coinage and bank notes. Coinage is a very small part of M1 ? about 2 - 3 %. It?s important to mention that coinage that is in a circulation in the U.S. now is a ?symbolic money?. It means that the real value of the coin (the value of material it is made of) is lower than the value marked on the coin. It was done to prevent the remelting of coins in order to sell them as a metal ingots. Bank notes are more important and take about 25% of M1. All the bank notes were issued by Federal Reserve bank with the permission of the U.S. Congress. You can see a Federal Reserve bank sign on every bank note. Demand deposits became widespread nowadays because it is safe and useful. If you need to pay a great sum of money you don?t have to take them all with you. All you need is draw a check. That?s much easier. The loss of check-book is not as tragical as the loss of equal sum of money. Nobody can use check if it is not endorsed. That?s why deposits became so popular. It might sounds strange that checkable deposits are part of M1, but it?s easy to explain. People use checks as a medium of circulation. Besides such deposits and checks can be turned into a cash money. M1 has the characteristic of being highly liquid, where liquidity is the term that describes the ease of converting an asset into money. "

Money Multiplier, 2005.
An examination of the concept known as money multiplier and how it works in the economy.
1,121 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the money multiplier is the ratio of the stock of money to the stock of high - powered money. The fractional reserve system is a key piece in the money supply process. This paper explains these concepts including tables and graphs.
From the Paper
"Generally, when a person makes a deposit into his account at a bank, it creates a liability for the bank (University of Colorado, 2004). A liability is basically the bank's obligations, or what it owes. However, the same deposit also creates an asset for the bank. The bank now owns the value of the deposit and will make the money work for the bank, looking for a rate of return that is higher than the interest it pays on the liability. This is how banks make money. By offering customer a return and banking services, banks pull in deposits (liabilities), which creates assets that a bank can lend out. As long as the total return on assets is higher than the payment on liabilities, the bank turns a profit."
