| gold standard |
The gold-standard system was largely abandoned during WWI. Up to that time many countries kept gold reserves large enough to meet all likely demands on their currencies by exports and well as backings on the issuing of bank notes. The high cost of WWI as well as the 1930s Depression forced countries to abandon the gold standard since their reserves weren't enough to keep in step with demands. Imbalance in payments between countries is financed by transfers of gold or foreign exchange.

| gold |
A yellow precious metal which is valued for its beauty and purity since it does not oxidize or tarnish like most other metals. It has been used for coins and jewelry for over 6000 years and from this has become regarded as a symbol of wealth. Gold is very ductile and is the most malleable of all metals. It can be cast into huge statues or beaten into wafer thin sheets of gold leaf. This malleability makes it too soft to be used in jewelry without being alloyed with other metals. (See Karat).
