WHAT DOES TOKEN MONEY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Token money

Token money is money made from tokens of some form, as opposed to account money. Most modern coins used in circulation are token money, as are paper notes. Token money has a strong privacy feature in that it works as money without the intervention of any other party in each transaction between two parties. Privacy makes money safe from interference by more powerful third parties. Where property rights are not strong, privacy is required to protect assets and permit trade, and token money works well in this regime.

Definition of token money in the English dictionary
