Economy encompasses the whole of buying and selling of goods and services. Money is the currency used to buy and sell. Money is either coins or paper that is symbolic of the wealth it represents. Money backed by gold is stronger and more reliable than money backed by copper. Fiat money is utterly useless as there is nothing but consumer confidence to back it. Gold and even copper have been around and backing currency for thousands of years, and will always possess intrinsic value. Consumer confidence is as fickle as a 13 year old boy at a Sadie Hawkins dance and possess no intrinsic value. A dollar floated as "fiat" is a vulnerable currency, and if other forms of currency are entered into the same market economy that are backed by money with intrinsic value the fiat dollar will weaken as the money backed by wealth will strengthen.
