The US Federal Reserve classifies the money supply of the country into four categories depending on the liquidity of each category. Liquidity refers to how easily it is possible to turn investments in each segment to currency. This supply of money includes all of the currency and liquid instruments, including gold, coins and bank deposits, that circulate in the economy.
