ANS. D

Fiat money is a money whose intrinsic value is lower than its face value. Examples of fiat money include coins and bills ( paper currency). Fiat money gets its value from a government order (i.e. fiat). That means, the government declares fiat money to be legal tender, which requires all people and firms within the country to accept it as a means of payment. For example: A 10 Rupee note in India issued by RBI & is signed by the Governer of RBI & is guaranteed by RBI.
