I think it used to come from the comparison of the time of labour needed to extract gold and the time needed to produce or attain other commodities. So if 1 hour of mining would extract 5 grams of gold and if 1 hour of cultivating apple trees would give 1kg of apples then 5 grams of gold could buy 1kg of apples.
The question is where does the value of money come from nowadays!
Money can lose value by inflation or gain value through deflation.
Money has value because it serves as a medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value. It is accepted by people as a commonly used medium for transactions and has a stable value recognized by society and governments. Confidence in the stability and acceptance of money by individuals and institutions also contributes to its value.
Token money is a type of money whose intrinsic worth is less than its nominal value eg its value as money is less than its value as metal while fiat money is a type of money which intrinsic value is more than its nominal value.
Money is recognized as a measure of value as the value and amount of money measures the value of a specific product or service. http://www.datadubai.com/

No, because the value of money depreciates with inflation.
You cannot. Money Orders are fixed value monetary instruments. You cannot increase the value of a money order. Once issued, its value does not change. If you wish to increase the value, you have to cancel the existing money order and request for a fresh money order with the new/increased value.
Value for Money was created on 1955-08-09.
Gold gives money it's value
There is an inverse relationship between value of money and the price level. So if the value of money is low, then the price level is high or if the value of money is high, then the price level is low.
Commodity money has value in itself while flat money has value only because it is given value
The time value of money is the increase in, or future/prjected value of, an amount of money, due to the implied interest earned on it over a period of time.
