Introduction
Money is a property determining the value of goods, services, works and intangible assets at a certain point of time, in a certain place and under certain economic conditions.
Money is a tool of exchange relations. It is widely accepted that money is a liquid good as it can be exchanged for any other good and measure a cost of another good.
Problem Statement
The article aims to analyze changes in the money liquidity level caused by changes in the structural correlation of cash and non-cash money.
Research Questions
The article aims to compare cash and non-cash money.
The article also analyzes causes of the disuse of cash money and describes the influence of this factor on changes in money liquidity.
Purpose of the Study
The article aims to compare liquidity of cash and non-cash money in different situations.
Research Methods
The article uses such methods as comparison, analysis, induction, deduction.
Findings
Money is a specific good with a maximum liquidity level. It can be exchanged for goods or services. It is also a unique equivalent used for evaluating costs of different goods and services. According to V.A. Malyshenko, “in Russian researches and course books, finance (money) is referred to as a sum of economic relations developing during the formation, distribution and utilization of centralized and decentralized monetary funds” (Lavrushin, 2000) According to Kastramitskaya (2017), “money is the most liquid category of assets which ensures the highest degree of company liquidity”. According to Balakina and Bablenkova (2013), “finance (in Latin, payment, income) appeared due to the stratification of society by an income level, development of social classes and regular public relations between the elite and people. To control the society, the government needed monetary funds determined by flows of material resources”.
Money is an inherent requirement of capital which occurs at the moment of distribution of the gross product. The cash flow is a sum of all monetary funds of Russian residents (except for public government authorities and credit institutes). For the purpose of economic analysis, different money aggregates are calculated (Russian central bank, 2017a).
There are four types of finance: public, corporate, community and personal.
Public finance belongs to the state. It is all revenues and expenditures of public government authorities and budgetary institutions (hospitals, schools, universities, theatres, museums, etc.).
Corporate finance belongs to commercial organizations which derive revenues from sales.
Community finance belongs to non-for-profit organizations (charity funds, political parties, etc.) which derive revenues from membership fees, gifts, etc. Non-for-profit organizations do not engage in production of goods and market services. Their economic role is insignificant; therefore, they are not a research object of the Finance Theory.
Personal finance belongs to individuals who derive their revenues from salaries, pensions and benefits which are paid from the federal budget and special public or commercial financial funds (Deeva, 2015).
According to Belotelova and Belotelov (2011), “the money flow is an important component of the model of circulation of resources, goods, services which involves all economic subjects (households, companies, nations). Money flows mean money circulation.
According to Lavrushina (2000), money circulation is a continuous cash and non-cash money flow. The flow is referred to money rather than to different money substitutes.
Business can develop by attracting financial resources. The problem of attracting investment funds can be solved using investment tax loans stipulated in Article 66 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (Barasheva & Zedgenizova, 2016). Enhancement of money liquidity can be an alternative to business development acceleration. Due to increasing rates of economic growth in large countries, the Federal Reserve System of the USA and the European Central Bank can tighten financial policies (Russian central bank, 2017b)
The issues of money liquidity are topical for Russia as well. According to Borzykh (2016), inefficiency of the interest rate policy of the Russian Central Bank is an expected result under the structural liquidity surplus.

Cash is money (banknotes and coins) which has nominal values and is issued by the National Central Bank. Credit money is a result of goods production development (credit sales).
Strict requirements to sufficient capital are a must for ensuring stability of the bank sector. However, they are not adequate (The UN News Center, 2016)
Non-cash money transactions are credit transfers using letters of credit, credit and debit cards, smart-cards, etc. Table
To describe quantity relations between Xi (money flow) and Yi (non-cash/ cash money), a correlation method can be applied. The dependency shows changes in a non-cash money index in relation to changes in the total money flow.
The value of correlation coefficients Х and неотъемлемое Y (r) средства shows the linear relation between the variables which can be positive or negative.
The linear correlation coefficient is calculated by formula (Efimova, Petrova, & Rumyantsev, 2007).

where is the covariation of values;
is the dispersion of values.
The linear coefficient values range from от –1 to +1.
The value of correlation coefficients Xi (money flow) and Yi (cash) is 0.96, and the value of correlation coefficients Xi (money flow) and Yi (non-cash money) is 0.99. These values speak for increasing use of non-cash money. As can be seen from Table

Two payment methods correspond to two forms of money. Cash payments are conducted without the participation of banks. Bank payments are conducted by transferring money from one account to another one or using e-money. There is no dead wall between cash and non-cash money. Banks conduct cash operations when they receive money from individuals, or exchange currency. Owners of plastic cards can withdraw cash using ATMs (an electronic telecommunications device that enables customers of
Table
According to A.S. Neshita, cash properties depend on a payment method and a form of money (cash/non-cash). Cash transactions do not require intermediaries while non-cash transactions are carried out through banks. Forms of money storage and circulation are different (Milyakov, 2000).
“Non-cash money is stored in the form of accounting records in the balances of banks. Owners of assets transfer the possession right to banks but reserve the right to use their assets (i.e. to use money as a means of exchange) by means of orders to banks” (Milyakov, 2000). An idea of the positive influence of financial sector development on economic growth was suggested by Schumpeter (1911). The author says that banks perform mediation functions (accumulation of savings, investment project profitability assessment, risk monitoring) which are important for economic development. The idea was later developed by McKinnon (1973). They proved the existence of positive correlation between indices of financial system sizes and long-term economic growth rates based on the data of several countries (Abbas & Christensen, 2007; Acemoglu, Johnson, & Robinson, 2004).
Money has one important property – high liquidity. Liquidity means how fast an asset can be turned into a payment tool. The degree of liquidity of assets depends on how fast they can be sold. Cash is more liquid than non-cash money as it is a direct payment tool.
Our society moves to the virtual reality digitizing everything. Internet-conferences, online workshops, distant courses or business meetings, social networks and messengers became a part and parcel of our lives. Internet resources are used by businesses as well. It caused a need for e-money which is applied in many international transactions. It reflects economic relations in the society. Unfortunately, Russia saw the need for e-money some time later. However, currently, it is a popular convenient payment means. Yandex money, Money@Mail.ru, QIWI,
E-money is the same monetary unit with the same value as real cash or credit money. It can be used to purchase air or railway tickets, pay utility bills, mobile or Internet service bills, purchase goods, etc.
Conclusion
Thus, one can conclude that money is a universal equivalent which measures costs of businesses. Finance is an economic tool of income distribution and redistribution. A goal orientation is an important principle of financial relations. Money properties depend on a payment method and a form of money (cash or non-cash). Liquidity is transformation of assets into cash money. Non-cash rather than cash money plays a key role in the developed market system.
