In the context of the passage, money refers to any medium of exchange that is widely accepted in transactions involving goods and services. Based on this understanding, a "Cash memo" is not considered money; rather, it is a document used in retail stores or businesses as a proof of purchase. It serves as a record of the transaction and lists the items bought, their quantities, and the prices.

E-wallets, cheques, and debit cards all function as mediums of exchange and can be used to make purchases. They may also hold stored value and be used to track transactions.
