Answer:

The gold standard is a monetary system based on gold.

Explanation:

The gold standard is a monetary system based on gold. Countries who adopt the system link their value of currency or paper money into a fixed amount of gold.

The gold standard is often used during times of economic downturn, for example, the U.S. started using it in 1933 during the Great Depression, at a time when people did not trust any financial institution and the atmosphere was filled with high speculations about the value of the American currency and other nations' in the near future. Consequently, the government decided to use the gold standard as gold was the strongest asset. Nowadays, no nation uses this type of system.
