hard money- Political contributions given to a party, candidate, or interest group that are limited in amount and fully disclosed. Raising such limited funds was harder than raising unlimited soft money, hence the term "hard money."
There are distinct uses for the terms in various contexts.
Specie
In fiscal terms, hard money is money with intrinsic value, such as gold and silver coins, or alternatively a currency that has backing, as on the "gold standard." Other forms of money are "soft money" or more specifically "Fiat money" which has a declared value based on the credit of the issuer.
Loans
A "hard money loan" is one that is secured by the value of real estate.
Political Contributions
"Hard Money" consists of political donations that are contributed to support a specific candidate or issue, whereas "soft money" is given to a party or political organization for their unregulated use.
