GOLD STANDARD
Monetary system in which a central government permits its currency unit to be willingly exchanged into set amounts of gold, and vice versa. The exchange rate under this system is derived by the amount of gold the two nations hold. This was mostly used during the interwar years, and also between 1875 to 1914.
