Answer to Question 1

Fiat (from the Latin for let it be done) money is money, which is decreed to be acceptable as payment, regardless of backing with gold, silver, or other precious metals. Money in circulation in the United States (and many other nations) today is almost entirely fiat money. Fiat money has value as long as people are willing to accept it as payment for goods and services.
