%X The following article presents reflections on modern methods of payment in light of the changing essence of money and its function. In modern times the ambiguous concept of money and the method of its issue have constitutional relevance in view of the fact that money is not backed by bullion any longer. Meanwhile, in addition to money in its pure form, there are other methods of payment arousing discussion such as: monetary means, electronic money or virtual currencies. This raises questions as to the acceptable forms of payment and the legal consequences of using means of payment other than money in the strict sense. This paper presents selected items from among the complex legal issues concerning money and payment in order to outline the typical ways to resolve legal problems of using the modern methods of payment.
