Best Answer

Yes. It can also be a branded good.

Commodity paper is sold by type of stock and basis weight--80 pound enamel text, for instance. If you call your paper dealer and ask for a skid of 80 pound enamel text in size 25x38, you will get whatever their "house enamel" is at the weight you ask for.

OTOH, if you call the same dealer and ask for "80 pound Utopia blue-white, size 25x38" you will get a very specific kind of paper. And you'll pay a premium for it even if that is the paper company's house sheet--and sometimes it is. (Having said that, though, any paper dealer who has a specific kind of paper as their house sheet--some dealers have a designated house sheet, others just buy whatever they can get the best deal on the amount they need--will tell you what it is.)

Why does Fiat money differ from commodity money?

Fiat money differs from commodity money because it is a more convenient form of money. It is easier to carry around paper money that it is to carry around gold or silver or other commodities. Fiat money is a promise to pay in the future while commodity money derives its value from the commodity of which it is made. Fiat money has value because the government declares that it has value. Fiat money only has value as a medium of exchange.
