Explanation of Solution

Currency is a type of money in the form of paper bills and coins. Counting currency is usually referred to as the paper money and coins that are being floated in the market under the regulation of the central bank of a country, but money is anything that acts as a medium of exchange or that is accepted for the payment of purchases. The money includes checks, deposits with the banks, and many other forms. Therefore, simply counting currency is a poor measure because it only constitutes a little portion of the money.
