    How does money solve the problem of double coincidence of wants? Explain with an example of your own.

    Answer:

    Money solves the problem of double coincidence of wants by acting as a medium of exchange.

This problem is overcome by introduction of money. Here the shoe manufacturer will first exchange shoes that he has produced for money and then exchange the money for rice.
