Commodity money is the value of the things from which the commodity is made. The examples of the same are gold, silver, stones wtc., which are used as a medium of exchange. These commodities have intrinsic values and do not need the desired end product directly (money) because commodity itself has a particular value. They can be stored and are universally accepted as the value itself.
