Money & Banking, Sixth Edition 

"In ancient times, money was mystical and sacred. Modern money is commercial, not sacred, and it is mystical only in our willingness to accept it as a means of exchange for goods and services."  

Money & Banking explores the important function of money in our modern economy and as the raw material in banking. It explains also the pivotal role of the banking system in implementing monetary policy and reaching economic goals. In addition to supporting the course, the Money & Banking textbook is a great reference tool about the basic functions of money, markets, and financial systems. Money & Banking provides well constructed chapters with content bankers need to know and features to make learning easy.
