Abstract

This study includes an historical perspective which gives insight into the reasons for holding coins. Emphasis is given to the particular attributes of coins which differentiate between them and the aggregate money supply. Also included is a survey of relevant literature which concentrates upon the demand for money and the demand for currency as theoretical supports for the demand for coins. The models to estimate the demand for coins are discussed and then the estimations themselves receive attention. The models are estimated using multiple regression, and results tend to confirm the hypothesis that the traditional demand for money function does not precisely explain the demand for coins. The conclusion is, basically, that there are indeed other variables explaining the demand for coins which must be included in the model.
