Full edition for scientific use. The purpose of this survey is to empirically study different aspects derived from Georg Simmel’s work within the Sociology of Money: What people know about money? Whether people trust in money? And how people use money? The data were collected as a face-to-face survey, being representative of the Austrian residential population (14+ years of age). The survey “Trusted Money?” encompasses five modules: money knowledge (what do people know about the monetary order?), trust in the monetary order (scales for the different dimensions of trust, based on the theory by Georg Simmel), how people save and why, how people think money may be utilized, and basic sociodemographic variables. The fielding of the survey as well as the associated research project were funded by the Austrian Jubiläumsfonds of the Österreichische Nationalbank (project number: 17080).
