Abstract: The growing popularity of money substitute is a consequence of impossibility to satisfy social needs (property, rights, etc.) with money only. Giving a short-term positive economic effect, money substitutes compete with state money and disarrange money circulation. Important role in the limitation of money substitutes is played by the legal means which efficient use is possible only if there is a clear definition of the legal category 'money substitute'. At the same time, provisions of the Russian law do not give such a definition and academic community keeps debating over the issue. Money substitute is understood more as a means of payment which limits the scope of its application. To make his research valid, the researcher has applied the comparative law method (to compare the definitions of money and money substitute as well as similar legal categories), logical theoretical methods and others. As a result of the research, the author tries to define the contents of the legal category 'money substitute' form the point of view of the main economic functions they perform. This allows to distinguish this legal category and similar categories and ensures efficient use of legal means that narrow the scope of the use of money substitute.

Abstract: The research subject includes the legal provisions regulating social relations in the sphere of currency circulation. The diversity of currency circulation forms form the viewpoint of law, as well as the necessity to create a uniform currency circulation system, determines the need for legal classifications of currency circulation forms. The modern legal approach to the classification of currency circulation forms is borrowed from economics, and means the division of currency circulation into cash turnover and non-cash transactions which don’t reflect the diversity of currency circulation from the position of law and don’t allow detecting its peculiarities. The research methodology is based on the dialectical method of scientific cognition of social, economic and legal phenomena in their interdependence and interconnection. The validity and sufficiency of the results is achieved through the complex use of the system-structural, comparative-legal, formal-legal and logical methods, as well as the method of description of notions, analysis, synthesis, generalization and other methods. The author concludes that currency circulation can be classified according to such factors as the form of objects of legal relationship in currency circulation, the functions performed by the objects of legal relationship in currency circulation, the subjects defining the beginning and the end of currency circulation, the legal interrelation of money as the object of legal relationship in currency circulation, and the nature of legal relationship in currency circulation. The author outlines the main peculiarities of currency circulation in the public finance sphere.

Abstract: The subject of the study contains the financial and legal rules regulating the public relations which develop mainly during the organization of the state financial security. Among the various objects of financial security of the state the area of monetary relations can be outlined, and its security gains a particular importance at the present day. The current organization of the state monetary circulation is impossible without the mechanisms such as the state financial security and national security because they serve as a guarantee of the constitutional rights, freedoms, adequate quality of life and living standards of citizens, sovereignty, territorial integrity and sustainable development of the state and its defense and security.The methodology is based on the dialectical method of scientific cognition of social, economic and legal phenomena in their interrelationship and interdependence. Reliability and validity of the results are achieved through the application of the integrated system-structural, comparative legal, formal legal and logical-theoretical methods, as well as the method of describing the concepts, analysis, synthesis, and other methods. The author concludes that the safety of the state is a monetary element of the national security. This is the condition of safety of the state from the internal or external threats which allows provision of sustainable and progressive development of its financial system in the process of money circulation, which in turn provides the constitutional rights, freedoms, adequate quality of life and living standards of citizens, sovereignty, territorial integrity and sustainable development of the Russian Federation, the defense and security of the state. Since it is impossible to consider money circulation in general as an object of the financial security of the state, the author proposes to use the category of "monetary security of the state" along with the category of "financial security of the state."
