Money
Money is anything that is commonly accepted by a group of people for the exchange of [1] __________, services, or resources. Every country has its own system of coins and paper money. In the beginning, people bartered, that is, they exchanged things or services for other things or services, i.e., a bag of rice for a bag of beans. However, what happened if you couldn’t agree what something was [2] __________ in exchange of what you had or if you did not want what the other person had.

Representative money was backed by a government or bank’s promise to exchange it for a certain amount of silver or gold.

I had a hard time these days because it seems I have to tell a lie to turn down a friend's another request of borrowing 100 dollars from me.
In fact, he owes me 300 dollars already, which he lent from me in August, 2011. And he once disappeared in my life for last 5 months. I couldn't reach him by any means.
But lying is a big headache for me. I can never tell a tactful lie, even for a white one.
I just considered him as my friend, you know, the definition for friend can be various.
But my family members are all against me lending money again to him.
There are at least four possible ways out. Consider all of them. Give for each solution an advantage and a disadvantage. Use complete sentences. So, if you were in my shoes, what should you do? You may add another solution of your own.
I trust him as usual, for everyone needs help when in trouble. What do I say?;
I tell a lie to refuse him (what lie?);
I refuse without lying. What do I tell him?
I lend him the money, but I tell him about my doubts. What do I tell him?
