This paper, devoted to late Mr. Yasuhiko Hakui who was a excellent scholar in the field of monetary theory and history, intends to succeed to his scholarly achievement of endogenous money. Throughout the economic history, money has been created inside economic process, not been injected from outside. Various financial instruments other than cash have covered defict of money itself. Exchange letter and giro were those kinds of instruments. In many cases money itself was controlled by official power whilst other instruments belonged to privare sectors. And conflicts between public and private money promoted financial sys-tem. This article tends to illustrate that point by analizing the exchange letter and giro in medieval western Europe.
